Hi Bryon - your comments here on expertise reminds me of the final film of Orson Welles, F is for Fake. If you haven't seen it, you need to. I think you would really enjoy it, and it is very much on your topic.
Why does better power = better sound?
Why does improving power quality improve sound quality?
I’m not asking to start an argument about power cords or wall outlets. Please let’s not go there. I’m asking because I’m hoping to learn some technical explanations for the effects of power quality on sound quality. I think I already understand how…
1. greater current availability = greater dynamic range
2. reduction of RFI/EMI = better signal to noise ratio
…but what about these…
3. ???????? = greater perceived resolution
4. ???????? = more realistic instrument timbres
5. ???????? = more precise imaging
Are differences in resolution, instrument timbres, imaging, etc. somehow reducible to current availability and/or powerline noise? If so, HOW are they reducible?
Again, I’m hoping to get into technical specifics, not polemical generalities.
Thanks in advance.
