Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!

holmz,

Through the years I have been buying and selling to improve my set up. Most of my equipment has been purchased used or at very good deals.

With that being said, to me, the power that is used forms the foundation of any quality system. That is; dedicated lines, outlets, power conditioners, power cords, etc.

It will not make the component sound better than designed, but it will help them sound there best.

BTW, to obtain the Dragons, I sold almost every power cord, interconnect, tweak I had that was not being used.

Thanks @ozzy 

I am pretty sure that my valve amps don’t need them, because they play for many seconds after the power is switched off.

And on the preamp and phono side I doubt they would do much…(?)

Are most people that find pleasure with them on SS electronics?

My amps are also tube.

But I am using the Dragons powering my AudioQuest (HC) power conditioner and 2 other solid-state devices.

I only have a TV input that is SS, and an old CD player which is getting rehabilitated.

The preamp and phono amp are both tube units.

My amps are also tube.

Do they also sport the aftermarket cords?
And deemed to make a difference?

But I am using the Dragons powering my AudioQuest (HC) power conditioner and 2 other solid-state devices.

(or…) Was the main benefit on the 2 other SS devices?
