| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I’m also curious to know how the naysayers listen to their systems. Do they sit directly in front of the speakers for hours on end doing nothing but listening to the music in a sound treated room with a quiet mind and focused intention? Or is it j... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @prof It’s really no different than if an experienced bird watcher said they saw a specific bird in their backyard and you went on and on about how they don’t migrate this far north and how fallable the mind is. If it was a little kid, maybe it wo... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Yet if your claim is at all challenged with reasonable questions you get so incensed as to insult the questioner as “having problems.”Are we supposed to simply sit down, shut up and accept anything nonoise claims as The Truth without possibly ques... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Why is it that almost every single time someone mentions "better powercord" the argument against it is "one costing thousand of dollars" when it is not the case? It’s a type of logical fallacy called a “straw man.” In effect, they set up an argume... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound The paradox is that at some level we are talking about a technical phenomenon with no good technical explanation. That is yet another reason to question the effect.Indeed, it is a reason to question the phenomenon. It is also a reason to keep inve... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound So far I haven't heard any compelling explanation. Lots of experts and savants with different opinions but no plausible reason for the perceived effect.I hadn’t either which is why I started the thread. Just so we’re on the same page, just because... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound And the money spent has really no sane connection with reality.I don’t disagree with you on that. Cost doesn’t necessarily correlate with performance. You don’t need to spend $20,000 on a power cable. I think that’s where the industry gets a bad n... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound cables are the ultimate sucker buy.@2010challenger I want that to be the case. I really do. Let me share my experience with you that led me to this crazy path:On the advice of an internet forum, I changed my generic, cheapo stranded core speaker c... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @tobor007 I like your idea. Now we just need to find a vendor who will let 10 people “steal” their system for an afternoon. Haha!One of my concerns with “on the spot” listening tests is that I need time to learn a specific system’s sound first. I ... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @jea48 haha! It did not happen, but we tried. @djones51 I’ve heard that a power cable needs to be at least a minimum length to have a good effect, say 5’ or more. I don’t understand why but it makes sense to me that there would be a shortest lengt... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @stevecham I think you may be on to something. However when I think of noise, I think of background hum or hiss. Does this noise you speak of go further than a veil over the music and the reduction of it makes the treble less harsh, improve the sl... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed @barnettk Thanks for a fun ride! I'm not quite sure why a cable could burn in. One thought I seem to gravitate to is that a new cable has grain boundaries that are rough and jagged and after you run electrical current through them for long enough,... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound All cables have a resistance, an inductance and a capacitance. Can these three physical quantities account for ALL of the differences in sound that power cables provide? I'm sure fancy multi stranded power cables have different R, L and C values c... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound And someone asked me why I said “please refrain from derailing the conversation with antagonism.” 😂🤣😅 | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @stereo5 That was not my experience. It did tame what sounded like overly bright treble so maybe in your system the effect was too much if you were already happy with your treble. I would like to try Shunyata some day but I’m quite happy for now. |
