Power Cables


Is it necessary to use the same brand and model of power cables for the amp and pre-amp? Any thoughts about mixing and matching? I know it all comes down to how they sound, but would love to hear your inputs or tips to guide me in the selection.

There is no doubt in my mind that power tweaks (circuit, outlet, cable, conditioners, etc.) do make a difference to the sound of the amp. And the direction of improvement is always toward the higher priced tweaks. I can say this from personal experience.
This is not delusion yet it makes no sense ... to the pragmatic audiophile ...nor, I suspect, to the design engineer of the amp or the tweak.
I think we just don’t know enough about electricity (nor reality). Personally, if we are living in a simulation, some alien joker coded: IF {’snake oil audiophile fix added’} THEN {’make music sound better in brain of listener’}. That’s my guess.
