The pixie dust you guys are looking for can probably be found over at the IBM web site. I've seen TV commercials where they use the stuff with great success on their servers. I'm very happy with my ESP power cables. Low impedance, excellent shielding, and Dupont Capton damping. They seem to work well on just about any thing you put them on. I'm about to send all 5 PC out for cryo treatment. If anyone would like to split the cost of a bag of PIXIE dust (including shipping) I'm in. If it doesn't work on our equipment, may be we can smoke it and catch a buzzz ;-))
Power Cords - Pixie Dust?
As an audiophile I am always prepared to believe that almost anything can make a difference in the sound. But this one makes me wonder. I have a TNT MKV with JMW 12.5 arm. The stand alone motor turns, via a belt, a flywheel that turns, via another belt, the platter.
I have seen an add claiming that replacing the power cord between the SDS speed controller and the stand alone motor can improved the sound of the table, "increasing upper range resolution and sweetness" or some such thing.
I suppose I can see how a new power cord might be argued to improve speed stability, but for the life of me how can a special power cord improve "resolution and sweetness", when the only function of the motor is to spin a belt, that turns a flywheel that spins another belt that turns the platter?? Does this claim make any sense?
