Years ago I bought JPS Labs pcs for my components that were plugged into a power conditioner just hoping they would do something positive. They did make for a quieter background. Then a few years ago I upgraded to TWL on the digital components. The preamp doesn't change no matter what cord is used.But boy the amp responds significantly to changes in pcs.IMO they do make a positive difference
Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet?
I am curious about improving my sound with power cable upgrades.
At present, I'm using a setup which Almarg (RIP) used and which he recommended to me:
Wall outlet (hospital plug)
Audience Adept Response-ar2p power conditioner
Wiremold strip w/ Shunyata defender
I use Pangea AC 9 SE and AC14 SE cords, at present.
This setup has been quiet and hum free.
Still I'm curious about whether better power cables might make some improvements, here or there.
The question is, whether any improvements a power cable could bring would be blunted or nullified by the setup I'm presently using.
Any thoughts?
Those who say power cables never matter, please go watch a cute cat video instead of posting here, please.
