Good power cable manufacturers have their secret technique to improve the cable properties to improve the sound quality and it does not matter whether they tell you what it is because the end results are the same. Most of the time the price is a good indicator of how good the sound is going to be.
Power cable upgrade or sideways move?
I recently changed my interconnects and speaker cables to Transparent Super Gen 5, and I am really enjoying the results. I’m thinking of switching over my power cables to Transparent as well. I’m currently using an original JPS Labs Power AC on my Levinson ML 383, and original JPS Labs Digital AC on my Krell cd player. I’ve read that both the ML and Krell have AC filtering within their power sections and that using power cables with additional filtering may provide less than favorable results. With that in mind, I was thinking of going with the Transparent High Performance Power Cord as there is no AC filtering network. Do you think going from my current JPS Labs power cables to the Transparent High Performance power cables would be an improvement or sideways move?
