Many years ago I remember being very surprised when a dealer friend replaced the original Krell power cord with one of the first Shunyatas (maybe the Phyton) on the normally very hot Krell preamp/CD player (KPS-25, if I remember well). The cord cooled it down dramatically. We repeated the experiment several times, with the same results. My friend was just as flabbergasted as I was.
Amplifier heat depending on power cable?
Hello,
I have an ML No 27 and I've noticed that when using one of my power cables it heats up MUCH more than when using another cable I have.
Both cables are manufactured by small European companies, probably little known in the US (Hifi Cable & Cie from France, Actinote from Belgium)
Does this make sense?
BTW, the sound is better with the less heating up cable.
Thanks.
