Power Conditioning and PC for Bel Canto Gear

I use Bel Canto with stock cords on the source components. I tried a heavier gua. cable with them and no difference. Also tried some ridiculously expensive Acoustic Zen and yup, you guessed it...no difference.
Power amps gained a bit more energy with a 10gua. cable.
I might try a Signal cable silver design just for kicks. Looks cool and the price is right!
My opinion only, to each is own.

Hmmm. I didn't notice much change at all using my Onkyo HT receiver + BC DAC3. However, using it with a better power train, and/or as a preamp connected directly to an amp, every cable swap showed diffs. PC or IC... which BTW, isn't always a good thing.

On digi links, that Stereovox XV2 sure does a bang up job. I tried to gain some improvements by trying out one costing near 5 times as much, but felt I couldn't justify buying the more expensive one after all, as the increases were marginal at best, and just more a different sound than a better sound.

I've tried lots of power conditions in my my system, and found none worth the cost...they all in one way or another ruined the sound. My advice.. test one for a couple of days, and then remove it from the system and re-evaluate the sound. Yes they all change the sound somewhat, and I usually like the change, but find that without them, the sound is more natural, and musical.

I agree... they do change the sound. Even how they are positioned (platforms, spikes, pods, MDF, etc) CHANGES THINGS TOO.

Ever try a Running springs Audio unit? the Haley I got a while back sure has allowed far greater dynamics to flow thrugh. Progbably has a lot to do with the price tags. Two other friends say the Jacko, or the next step up is even far better.
