Powercord to tame brightness and add musicality

I agree with Tvad. A dedicated line, at the least, for your front end may be all you need. If you still have that "brightness" and believe it is your cdp, I'd think of another cdp. I wouldn't look to power conditioning or new power cords to save the day. I don't believe in using power cords (any cords, cables, etc) as a preamp with bass and treble controls. Power cords should allow the inherent qualities of your system to come through. It's a tricky thing. peace, warren

Nick, after all this, aren't you glad to know that an Audience powercord is the answer. Man, all these threads, hitting on the same idea, who would have thought that an Audience powercord was the answer. Sorry my fellow audiophools, I couldn't resist...lol.. Audience powercord: who woulda thought...

"short of replacing Krell gear" You said it,not me. Now you're talking. Sometimes that's the plain ole audiophoolish truth. Can be a little painful, but no power cord is going to set you free with that brightness problem. I thought that point was clearly made. That's the sarcasm behind my post. Thin skin you got there, AF5228....Butthole? Thanks for thinking of me...peace, warren

John, I agree with you about cables and power cords as "tone controls" not being "the preffered method." I suppose that's the way if you don't want to give up your existing gear. I just wouldn't go that way...

BTW, IMHO? forgive my ignorance...

All above posts by me: please visualize IMHO.

I'm trying, Ken....got to remain teachable..
