Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?


Your experiences?

My experience is that everything matters in an audio system. That includes cables, and yes, power cables. Even on source components. Sometimes especially on source components. 

People are free to disagree with my opinions. We all draw the line somewhere. I don't believe in or hear benefits from some of the more "out there" tweaks on the market, but I hold no ill will towards people who enjoy using them in their systems. To each their own. 

This is the way I think of it and I maybe wrong so please add if I am way off base::

The electricity I receive at my humble abode is generated over 100 miles away. It goes through step up and step down transformers before it reaches my house. From there it flows through 25 year old 6 to 12 gauge wire until it finally reaches my outlet. How on gods green earth can a 6 foot cable running into my amplifier make a difference? 

 

Thanks..

 

@grunge1000 ,

A good question not likely to receive a satisfactory answer for you.

But, we hear what we hear. Who are we to judge either those who hear a difference or those who don't. Both are right. Those who hear a difference flat out hear a difference no matter the reason. I find it silly when those who don't hear a difference post that people who do are wrong, like they know better than the person who is actually experiencing it. Whether it's due to some as yet undiscovered scientific explanation or individual perceptual reality bias, we hear what we hear.

We've known how to utilize electricity for our purposes for a long time, yet it's still not truly understood how in its most basic constituents all that voodoo works.
