Lacee, I enjoyed your post, I to have dedicated lines with after market power cords, works great!, I agree with your findings 100% |
@ Zavato, Hi, Not all exspensive power cords are worth the asking price, brands like Taralabs, Elrod, Purist audio design,High-fidelity, just to name a few are worth the exspensive asking price compaired to whats out there, I will say, to me all top range cables are to much money!, LOL!, this is the price we have to pay to get the best available to the buyers ears!, I cannot say much other than my Taralabs cobalt power cable with oyaide plugs is worth the $5,450.00 compaired to whats out there for even more money!, good luck on your resolve, cheers. |
@ Electroslacker, Hi, I agree!, however, LOL!, I paid $1,000.00 for a 1-meter Taralabs cabolt with oyaide plugs a/c cable used, it has been authenticated by the factory as well, man, what a deal!, as you see on the above post, this cable retails for $5,450.00 for 6 foot, cheers. |
@ Jmcgrogan2, Hi, No I have not listened to the power cord on my system, I have many, many times listened to the cord else where, Thats the reason I wanted it, Taralabs has made this cord for a long time now, I am not saying its the holy grail or something, It is a very good power cord for the asking retail price, sure you can get better, be prepaired to drop over $9,000.00 to do it!, I have compaired it to other cords over the years at stores thru out, I have not done this recently, a few years ago I have, before I was a member to audiogon, Happy listening. |
@ Astock, Hi, What an excellent post you did here!, I appreciate the great read, Its post like this that make reading these forums worth while for me, Thankyou, Happy Listening. |
@ mrtennis, Agreed., cheers |
@ Lacee, Hi, Great to meet you, LOL!, very well put post you have!, I am a pro musician too!, finally, This is the best explanation I have seen, you took the words right out of my mouth, power cords do work on home audio, some for the best and then some make worse sound on the home audio, It is a crap shoot!, However, when you do discover what works on a given system, Its astonishing! |
Thankyou Elizabeth for your input as well. |
@ Tjassoc, Hi, If no body else will say it, I will, I enjoyed your post, I have talked to, and read many engineers post, you kept your words simple when all the other engineers that talk on the threads do not, Bravo!, I will also add, most engineers do not believe high performance cables make a difference, you do, another bravo!, I am interested in anything you have to say, LOL!, I can understand you!, Happy Holidays. |
@ Tjassoc, Hi, I need your help here on a thread called, the future of pre-amps on the amp threads, I am talking to engineers!, your language, thou you make it simple for me, you can par to your fullest in conversation there to help explain what I am saying, whether I am right are wrong, an interpreter if you will?, my new post should show up by sunday, if they are dated the 14th or after, chime in if you will, thankyou. |
@ Tjassoc, Hi Thankyou, no hurry, I will look for you there when you are ready. |
whatever!, you never made the conversation. |
Hi Kacz, I agree with your findings, although I own a aftermarket pre-made power cord, It is 10 awg, 1-meter long, one of the best model oyaide terminated plugs, this coensides with what you said, However, I have to correct you on one thing, that is the Hospital grade recepticals, Do not use them!, they are plated!, gos against what the both of us know!, get a pure audiophile out-let, make sure it is not plated, use a Iridium/copper cryo treated, very, very, thick metal on both sides of the receptical that is 20 amps, this can handle 30 amps that will not melt or get to hot, this will result with pure current flow, with NO interruption of Electricity, It is not plated! |
Thankyou gentleman, I know with exsperience that non plated is better than plated with recepticals, I assume kiddman was making a joke out of what I said, cryo treated two metals to me infuses them better to work as a whole, in my opinion, results better sound, whether minute or not, it's a cheap improvement that helps! |
