Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord?


Isn't it kind of unnecessary to additionally add a power conditioner if I have an expensive audio file grade Power cord connected to a component?

So you buy a Power conditioner from a hi-fi store and they say oh, you need a really good power cord to go with that and then another one to go from conditioner to the component. Do you need it all and why? Seems the last couple of feet before the component should be more than enough.

I must be really really stupid not to understand much of these past several posts. I would hope the people commenting in such a technically proficient way would recognize that most readers have no clue what they’re saying.

There in lies a huge challenge, very very technical issues confounded buy those who don’t explain themselves very well. Very unfortunate as what they say is of value but lacks clarity.

They exhibit tremendous effort to achieve improved Sonic Quality I hope, and yet it has limited value to me because I am really really stupid I guess.

The marketing of these products can be horrible as the manufacturers don’t really do much to improve an understanding of technical information. Most dealers don’t understand all this. There have been noted exceptions along the way but still it is not explained very well.

And now that I've solved the power issue herein, thank you,  what do I do about nonstop landscaper noise now that spring is here?

Ever since they invented the leaf blower things have never been the same.  Carrying a jet engine on your back and walking around the neighborhood is impacting Quality of life substantially.  It's like a frog in gradually heating water we never really recognized this problem as it grew and now it's too late. Somehow it's very important to remove every last leaf on the lawn and be absolutely neurotic about edging.  Are brooms still being sold? 

We no longer can see most of the stars at night and now we can't enjoy peacefulness during the day.

Fascinating how no one discusses how proper shielding will protect from all the Radio frequency related noises, within all the comments herein, that are generated after the electrons depart from the wall. It’s all very simple why does everyone overthink this problem?

Further no one seems to discuss measuring the interference that occurs before and after Power conditioning. To me this would be a huge selling point yeah no one talks about it. And what about restricted versus unrestricted electron flow that many conditioners do or don’t do. Thereby explaining why amps should go direct to wall unless power management device is unrestricted.

 

Mr atmaspere,

Would love to see your system, or know what's in it.  Do you use power management in anyway?

Thanks

Clearly the ultra high endcables are a scam.

There has been little herein to justify spending so much money on a power cord.

The lower end Power cords being well shielded, better connectors, and focus on impedance are likely of value. Buy lower end I mean spending $500 or so.

It’s not rocket science
