Power cables, I need help

First thing you got to do is get dedicated lines for your gears. Without ddedicated circuits, you are wasting money on power cords and conditioners. Do a search on this site on the topic, it's been discussed a few times.

I agree that dedicated lines should be considered before you do anything. Also, there is not a power cord on the market, no matter how expensive, that will do what a comparable power conditioner can. That being said: dedicated lines, power conditioner and good quality cords: you'll have electric nirvana. FWIW, I agree ( I have them in my system) with the recommendation concerning Sonoran cables and power cords. I do prefer, however, the Harmonix Studio Masters over the Sonorans. They are significantly more, but in this case they deliver big time. happy listening. warren

Do you ever notice how many suggestions you get on different power cables that have performed to someone's like in their on system. The rule of the day is try before you buy. Might save yourself a buck or two. Power cords are somewhat of a mystery, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
Your components power supplies have a lot to do with how and if a power cable will work. The problem is, nobody can decide on any group of cables and wether they need to be shielded or not and on and on and on.
On the Bryston sight, their opinion is a power cable is a waste of money and others hold this thought. I have actually heard a cable or two make a difference. I never could decide if it was better or not. Just different.

I agree with Bigtee. I have tried many PCs without liking any of them. Dedicated circuits did much more on the positive side than any of the PCs or conditioners put together. PCs do make a difference in sound, but only you can decide if you like the difference. I found many of them sound unnatural.

Dedicated lines are your first step. Remember, dedicated garbage is dedicated garbage. You still want to clean up what's in those lines. A lot, certainly depends on where you live. As good as my power conditioner is (and it's quite amazing), I never thought adding new power cords would take it up a notch. A significant improvement. Electricity should be treated as another component. Electricity is very mystical, with unexplainable properties that affect our systems in unexplainable ways. I have posted many times asking 'goners for the explanation of how a few feet of power cord can do what it does. Never get an answer, other than the ubiquitous, "I don't know, but it sure makes a difference." Gee, I find myself saying the same thing. peace, warren
