Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?

Since it is New Year’s eve might as well discuss Champagne!

All champagne is the same: the only difference is the price, the colour, and size and shape of the cover. They all function the same: drink it, absorb the alcohol, pee out the rest.

Only minion is the ones that claim a champagne makes a dang bit of difference in my stomach.

Happy New Year and champagne make no diff!

Now wine coolers, there’s a difference!

You know, for those with a sophisticated palate...

Agree 100% filtering pcs (I use Shunyatas) not only get cleaner power to the CD transport but keep the grunge they generate from getting back into the system. Same for PCs to power supplies.

Now as for Laphroig vs Macallen..... 😀

Enough with the cable crap, you want to spend the coin do it…who cares !! I like many engineer my own, and to very high standards for peanuts. I like a fat wallet plain and simple.

This is what I know, because I did it in my system, in my house, and heard it with my ears.

I had 2 dedicated lines pulled from a new box, with a separate line at the panel. At the same time I installed 2 high quality audiophile receptacles. After testing and comparing 8 or 9, I settled on Furutech GTX-D(G) and Oyaide R-1 as the ones I liked best.....though the Acme Audio Labs silver plated/cryo/CFC coated are excellent for $75.

Doing both of those things made a big sound difference: quieter noise floor, more top end air, bass was better defined and meatier, trailing notes more noticeable, soundstage was wider if not taller and deeper yet.

Upgrading cables did the same, just more of it in the end. Some did not make any difference, some made a difference that I did not like, and some were noticeable improvements.....but I did learn that cables and gear have a relationship that I can't explain, the same cable that was "flabby" on my tube amps work great on my solid state amp.

Another note, as I've upgraded amps, preamps, speakers, CD transports, etc; the more of the benefit of power and cables are notieceable
