I've been pleasantly surprised with the improvement in sound my system, now that I've done some more tweaks to the power delivery.
I've found that Stillpoints ERS cloth works for me, and so does a couple of Nordost QV2.
My sound is now more coherent, better focused,and less harsh sounding.
But I never would have used any of those descriptors before.
I felt things were about as good as they could get.
I had paid attention to the power delivery.
Three dedicated 20 amp lines on 10 guage wire from the panel.
One into a Hydra 2 for CD,
one into the large HYdra for TT and phono stage,and volume control, and the last one for the power amps.
I use Shunyata RZ1 and Furutech GTX D outlets.
The power cords are all Shunyata Annaconda.
So how could some cheap cloth and two relatively inexpensive power tweaks make any difference to what I had already done?
I was sceptical, but I've been surprised before when things that shouldn't make any difference do.
Did I mention I've been using HiFi Supremes throughout the system?
Some folks say they don't hear any changes using them.
I do, and I hear a much sweeter sounding system since I've done the last(?)round of tweaks.
Please don't expect too much from that fancy expensive power cord.
It can only do so much.
You shouldn't stop there,because when all the pieces of the puzzle come together, the picture is so much clearer.
