Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet
Hi everyone,
I would appreciate any advice on power cables, wall warts, power conditioning, better electrical outlet, etc.
If I have a power conditioner, with all of my equipment plugged into it with their stock cables, would upgrading the individual components’ power cable, wall wart etc. really help to improve the sound quality? If yes, in what order of priority would you suggest? Looking to make some low/moderate cost "tweaks" where it makes sense.
FWIW, here’s my setup:
Any advice and comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

Speaking of power, have any of you experienced Furutech's in-wall power cable, - FURUTECH ALPHA-CB10 Power Cable OCC Copper Alpha Treatment 6.23mm² Ø5.5mm? It is really more like a hook-up wire in that it is a single run, meaning you would have to double up for power or speaker cables. However, it provides a lot of their top OCC alpha copper for not really a lot of money. At about $43/meter you could do a 2M, 10awg power cord for about $170 plus plugs, or two 8-foot, 10awg speaker cables for $430 plus connectors. The XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation/covering has a relatively low dielectric constant of 2.2/2.3 compared to Teflon at 2.1. I can't seem to find this cable available in the USA - the linked Audiophonics source I believe is in France. |
