Let's talk power cords

Jon,
Does the power cable impact the sound of one component (DAC and preamplifier) more than the other?

Jon,
Yes please give your listening impression of that "Tijuana Moods" recording. I’ve owned "Mingus In Wonderland " for about 20 years and still enjoy it as much as ever.
Charles

Jon,
I'm not familiar with "Tijuana Moods".

Hi Jon,
I’m happy that you like it. An interesting mix of, blues and a a touch of the Avant-garde yet they definitely swing! Top notch musicians every single one of them. Wonderland is an earlier live recording from the late 1950s and is more "Hard Bop" and ballads, beautiful musicianship. I hope that you like this one as well. Jon, track 4 is beautiful.

+1 Jafant. These are the type of recordings I take to audio shows, auditions etc. Superb music.

Jon,
I understand, Mingus could definitely go in different directions and you certainly may prefer some directions over others😊. That’s why I offered 2 recommendations, I like both butt different styles from this jazz icon."Mingus In Wonderland" is more "straight ahead".
Charles

+2 jmcgrogan2. Sadthetic, perfect description 😊.

Jond,
Good early impression for a brand new and "cold" power cable. Like your choice of test recording. Jon we are both jazz afficianos, here is one for you that I’m listening to as I type. "Minus Oh Yeah" Charles Mingus is a different flavor from Bill Evans but I think you may enjoy it. Minus is as you know a bassist but plays piano on this recording. Track 5 is a beautiful blues.

"Minus In Wonderland" is a bit more typical Mingus and he is back on bass. Okay back to the thread topic😊.

Hi Jond,
800 hours? Well you’ll be the recipient of a thoroughly burned in power cable 😊. I get the preamp "heart of the system" idea but I’d try it on both the preamp and your tube Audio Note  DAC. Most DACs are generally quite responsive to better power cables. Curious to know where the cable will have the greater impact in your fine audio system.

Geoff wrote that "real science doesn't pretend to know everything " ,  nor is it arrogant but rather curious and investigatory.  This is absolutely right. Willemj  note the spirit of what this implies, you should rethink your smug attitude and name calling. Just give it some contemplation.

Willemj,
No need on this forum to introduce politics and snide condescending remarks about the United States.  Please stay on topic if you don't mind. There are many available venues for political discourse.

Thirsty,
Without question over the years through a number of audio systems (mine and friends) I have heard the positive impact of using well designed/made power cables. I’m surprised when I read comments from those who say they do not hear an improvement with better power cables. The comparisons were quite stark in contrast in some instances and subtle in others.

Some say scam and I disagree based on my listening experiences. If you are truly interested to determine for yourself, borrow 3 or 4 samples from the Cable Company and compare them in your system. There is a modest fee but worth it if you’re really curious. Good luck.
