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

@piaudiol  So we would agree there is no point to have a heavier cable between the wall plug and the amp than what is behind the wall plug running to the circuit breaker?

I concur!

Thanks for that link. My next acquisition may have to be some high impedance speakers! But tell me, can we cheat and just add a resistor in the line to a lower impedance speaker and get the same enhancement of performance from the amp?

I've read that link several times in the past.  BTW, I like your amps!

The quote came from Nelson Pass.

I've seen advertising, but not the actual quote (which IME is something very different!). Do you have a link?

Yes, but the resistor will work against you than for you. It will absorb power too- for example if a 4 Ohm resistor in series with a 4 Ohm speaker, the resistor will absorb about 1/2 the power! Its not practical, and the speaker will see a vastly reduced damping factor.

Mr atmaspere,

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

Thanks
