Wish I knew what you're talking about.
POWER CABLE FEATURES
Hi, for many years in this hobby I have paid the least attention to power wires ... I just used quality "computer" cords and that was enough.
Yes, I brought home expensive wires and compared them - there was a difference, but not so much to pay so much money for a piece of wire.
Now I decided to replace the cables (catching fleas - fine tuning the system), chose the manufacturer ...
So my question is - two cables of the same design, but different sections (1.5 and 2.5 squares) ...
How does the thickness of the cable most often affect the sound?
my consumers: CD transport (40 watts), DAC (50 watts), tube amplifier (consumes 130 watts).
Of course, it is better to compare and find out, but like everyone else, there is no such possibility ... Therefore, I am looking for those who have identified a common pattern (from personal experience).
Any caliber of these two will work for my system, but suddenly there is a feature that can be used ...
what I want ? - correct balance, more black background, image depth ...

perhaps the analogy with acoustic wires is appropriate - the thicker they are, the more changes in low frequencies can be noticed ... There are definitely trends - you just do not know about them (cable manufacturers may know - they are experimenting and sellers of large stores - they compared a lot of cables) ... I never doubted that there would be people willing to sell something and pimply teenagers without life experience who, like parrots, repeat what they heard somewhere ... for this reason, I never registered on audio forums)))))) .. I will delete the profile - information viruses are very expensive in this hobby. I was given cables for a couple of days: Transparent ref, Nordost valhalla 1, Anticables 3 ... yes - there is an effect, but I think that such money is better to invest in equipment than in wire ... This option is greatly exaggerated - if your component has a good power supply - it will do the trick and sometimes computer cables are enough (by the way, they are of different qualities) ... they will give consistently satisfactory results ... while expensive cables can paint and distort the sound (some recordings will benefit from this, and some will not). In e-commerce, the trend is different: expensive phones can sound good or bad, but cheap phones almost never sound good ... everything is bad there - engineering, parts, build quality ... |
There are way too many variables, when it comes to systems and cables (regardless of description/placement), for anyone to make categorical propositions as to how much or whether your sound/presentation will benefit from their replacement. Then: there are the aural acuity disparities that exist between people (as with any of our other senses), which many choose to deny. It's been my experience, the better the equipment, room acoustics, component's power supply and everything else involved; the more obvious an upgrade in house wiring, cables or interconnects will appear. The only way to tell whether any (or what) upgrades in your system's wires will prove beneficial, within your own budget constraints, is to try it yourself, in your room, with your ears. |
@serjio- I've used Zu Mother PCs on a number of components and never have been disappointed, in the least. Currently: I have them on my CDP, preamp and tubed, monoblock, main amps. Some low-cost options, you may want to explore: ie: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649742715-zu-audio-mother-varial-amp-ash/ and: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649738798-zu-audio-mother-power-cord-2-meters/ Zu's description: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51dd8a95e4b0ff2f7c9874ae/t/56438a03e4b0b66656c31f7f/144726681...
