Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s

Having been listening to music for over 30 years the tweak I had resisted was power cables and mains blocks. 

I took the plunge spent £400 on mains cables and a mains block through Mark Grant cables in the UK. All hand made. It was easy for me as he lives 15 mins away.

The quality of the product is excellent the sound difference, just tighter, clearer, no noise,  it is like lifting a veil off the speakers the whole sound just seems clearer, greater separation and increasing the width, height and depth.

I recommend you look at your power cables and mains block rather than spend £0000's on new boxes. I wish I had taken the plunge years ago. I have never heard Marc Cohn or Jackson Browne sound so good. 

I have a nice set up. Amplifiers Croft Epoch Elite and Croft Twinstar 1 both modified by Glenn Croft,  Melco Streamer, Exposure Dac and Piega Classic 40.2 speakers with Lfd Speaker cable and BK sub Xxl 400. I could not be happier.

Enjoy the music.

I was a power cable none believer for years, (its a piece of wire bringing electricity to my components) how could it possibly make any difference?

Then several years back Paul Speltz came to my house with speaker cables I was interested in trying, and also brought one of his Level 3 power cords. During our listening session we replaced the stock power cable on my Oppo disk player with his and then played the same song we were listening to again...…. well lets just say I became a believer at that moment.

I have found that taking my system one piece at a time, trying different power and interconnect cable combinations till happy with the sound. Then on to the next component till all have been updated, to work quite effectively. I have done this several times and may find it necessary to do again.

Enjoy the tweeks that bring your system to the next level!

I don't mean to be combative, but I just don't see how a large wire gauge power cord can supply more power to your amplifier than a smaller gauge power cord as long as both power cords have equal or larger size wire than what is the wall from the circuit breaker to the outlet. 

It would seem that putting a larger pipe on a smaller supply pipe couldn't increase the available supply. Am I missing something?
