Just purchased an incredible $10K power amp. It brought my whole system to life - a huge deep stage, with detail, texture and timber I could never have imagined. WOW! just replaced my old ICs! The new $5K ICs make such an improvement on my $10K amp; I can't hardly believe how much better it sounds. WOW!  I just added an end all $10K power re-generator to my system - I can't believe how bad all that terrible grid power was making my system sound. WOW!! You'll never believe how much better my system sounds after adding a $10K power cable to my $10K power re-generator. Just when I thought my system couldn't possibly sound any better, I put a new supper-dupper carbon fiber (coated with Graphene) cover over my $500.00 audiophile outlet. It was like removing a vail.
All satire of course, but in some cases - more fact than fiction. You can see how ridicules this all may sound too some.......Jim

@zalive I agree with the effectiveness of using affordable, readily available products and methods to achieve some very effective tweaks, Having been professionally involved in the industrial tech. industry, dealing with the effects of vibration, resonance and harmonics, I know these can be troubling issues, but solutions, particularly in audio, shouldn’t cost thousands of dollars.

Regarding the $10K power re-generator that needs a $10K power cord to really be effective at making a $10K power amp sound great - I’d say "Man you’d have to live in an area with some real sh*t power or just made a real bad choice in amps".....Jim

@teo_audio Not trying to be a kill all  - It just seems a lot like someone pushing someone else's $10K power cord to augment their $10K power re-generator and convince us that it takes one to make the other sound good.
Not all, but most designers and engineers who, for many years, have been building high quality amps and audio components, know quite well how to build a power supply. If you need, or think you need, a $10K power re-generator with a $10K power cord to make your $10K amp sound really good - you either need a different amp (one with a properly designed power supply) or you've got problems somewhere else....Jim
 

@geoffkait You just made my dog cry. 😭
I’m sorry, but he knows I’m right....Jim

 Interesting that those on this forum who have a professional history of working in the scientific/engineering/physics field; those who work or have a long history of working in the engineering/mixing/producing end of making music; those who have a history of building electrical components and have the knowledge and understanding of how they actually work - are the ones continually ridiculed here, when they question someones outlandish, unfound claims of grander, especially when attached to an even more outlandish price tag.
IMO - good electronics are not an imaginative art form, they are products of sound engineering and development - adhering to established and proven principles of science and physics, backed up and proven both in the lab and in the studio......Jim
