Quick Question About Power Cables


Hi All,

I recently bought a Bryston BDP 3 streamer/renderer and love how refined and relaxed it sounds. I would like it more if the bass was a bit more controlled and had a little more impact. A friend and Audiogon member suggested I try an Audio Sensability Statement Power Cable. He bought one for his tube DAC and said the bass got tighter an offered better slam. Anyway, for those who are PC savy, what are your thoughts on the matter? Thanks!

That IS what you said, and @kennyc seems to agree.

Btw, I’m rather proud to be able to get $160K worth of performance out of $30K + some work and ingenuity. 

I’m done with this thread. Carry on.

I have an older The Statement PC too, and use it on my sub. It's better than stock or cheap PCs and has a nice tonal balance but it's downside is resolution. A little fuzzy but not as fuzzy as Cardas Clear.

YMMV, but your Statement PC is being used on a sub which has a limited frequency range. I found The Statement to provide increased clarity and more defined bass with my Atma-sphere amp

 

 

     No one can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new addition.   There are simply too many variables.

     LIKEWISE: no one can possibly know whether a new addition (ie: some kind of disc, crystal, fuse, interconnect, speaker cable, etc)  will make a difference, in their system and room, with their media and to their ears, without trying them for themselves.   

     Some companies offer a 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee, so- those that are actually interested, have absolutely nothing to lose, by trying (experimenting with) such.     

     Anyone that knows anything about the sciences, realizes that something like 96% of what makes up this universe, remains a mystery.       

     For centuries; humanity’s seen, heard, felt and otherwise witnessed phenomena, that none of the best minds could explain, UNTIL they developed a science or measurement, that could explain it.     

     The Naysayer Church wants you to trust their antiquated science (1800’s electrical theory) and faith-based, religious doctrine, BLINDLY ("Trust ME!"). 

     Theories have never proven or disproven anything.  It’s INVARIABLY testing and experimentation that proves or disproves theories/hypotheses.   

    IF you’re interested in the possibility of improving your system’s presentation, have a shred of confidence in your capacity for perceiving reality and trust your own senses: actually TRY whatever whets your aural appetite, FOR YOURSELF.         

                      The Naysayer Church HATES it, when THAT happens! 

I spoke with my local dealer on the subject, hoping they might have some power cables to try, anyway they suggested a Straight Wire Black Thunder. Doing a little research online, folks have drawn similarities between the Audio Sensability and the Straight Wire cables. Both at least, are lesser known brand names which keeps the price down.

@lowrider57 Did you try any other power cables before you settled on the Audio Sensability Statement for your amplifier? What sold you on the Statement?

I've tried so many PCs, I can't remember them all (btw, I can hear a difference).

Transparency is the goal for my current tube system. I tried AS interconnects and liked them even though they came in second in the shootout. A friend said if I like the ICs, I'd probably like their PCs. The Statement uses OCC copper and gold Furutech connectors plus there's a bonus; AS is in Canada and the CAD is weak compared to USD so the price was right.

It's revealing with a black background. I actually like it better than the Furutech on my preamp.

Oh yes, on this tube amp I’ve used Cullen, Furutech, PS Audio, and a Core Power cable.
