High current power cables


Hello,

How come some manufacturers offer high current power cables for use with amplifiers and some don't? Is this to say that the companies who don't offer one have designed their power cables to work in any application?

Please try to stop worrying about power cables.

As long as it is thick enough any power cable does the same job as any other.

Remember the last 6 feet of cable joining your power outlet to your equipment follows miles (literally) of cabling that you mostly don't own.  Your house wiring, the power company fuse (yes all your power has to go through this fuse that you cannot replace), the street wiring back to the 8kV (in the UK) transformer, the supply to that which runs miles probably on pylons, subject to atmospheric and other interference, back to the power station (or windmill).

So how can the last 6 feet countervail all of that?

I want to ensure that members distinguish me and my posts from the condescending unhelpful posts of another member just above who has a handle rather similar to mine.

Thank your for your support and understanding.

Yes I have nothing to do with 'clearthink' who does not do that.

I have only had one handle here which is the current one.  If our masters were to exclude me, I would not bother to create another 13 successive handles to get back in.

Life's too short and I'm only trying to help everyone clear the haze.

Thanks.

Your power supply looks great to me.  As long as you are supplying your amp with enough juice that does the job.  Don't overspend for no benefit.

My old Krell KSA50 (D'Agostino's first product, mid 80s) used to play on after power down in distorted mode for about 10 seconds.  Now, that's a proper power supply.  But as you say created by the storage in his amp not by $8,000 six foot lengths of cable terminating 20 miles of supply from the power station/windmill.

Clearthinker stand for clear thinking.
