What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs?

@nyev 

What other speaker brands did you audition before you bought your B&W s? 

Another elongated story void of fact, just a worded story… fact of the matter is there’s no science !!! The overwhelming majority of electricians and highly trained electronic specialists laugh at this garbage. So diddly wad says he hears a difference who cares, One in thousands. I can say I have a degree along with an engineer in the family and am privy to a Studio with many a thousand dollars worth of diagnostic equipment….will you listen to my story ? So the mud slinging continues the BS flows freely and people make money !

Cheers

Imo,I have to agree with most of the post here.I run Lessloss on my 3 Rels along with better high level cables. I've also  tried AQ tornado.Does it make a difference,?.To me it does.For the added cost does it justify, no.I feel placement and room treatment had more of a positive impact.

Like you I particularly feel spending money on power cords for subwoofers isn't the place to start.  Neither would I spend money on power cord upgrade on a turntable.

The issue is noise on the power line.

Some comes from your house.  Deal with that by installing dedicated lines and a better earth/ground as I have done.

Some comes on the line.  If that concerns you, deal with it with an active power conditioner.  I remain very sceptical about expensive passive power cords.  There is no evidence they can operate as a noise

filter.  Valid evidence will take the form of double blind testing.  Although DB testing is inconvenient (in more ways than one), the believers should surely be vindicated if there were scientifically valid findings.  They fact they do not wish to test suggests they are afraid of the result.

Thanks all - even the trolls for the amusement!

Here is another interesting story which is a good analogy to the common sense that suggests that cables should have no impact. About 20 years ago I was watching the Perseid Meteor shower, inside a house, from a very large skylight. They were the brightest I’d ever seen them. Red in colour, with illuminated smoke trails behind them. Here’s the thing: I HEARD the meteors. They made a sizzling sound, like a frying pan.

Looked on the internet and it turns out many have heard meteor “hiss”. But, scientists/astronomers stated that common sense and physics suggests that this is impossible! Meteors are too far away, and any sound they might make would trail the visual of the meteor by seconds. But that’s not the experience everyone was reporting, including me. I heard the hiss in sync with seeing each meteor.

20 years passed and I thought I’d research again. Turns out common sense conclusions of astrophysicists were wrong! Now they revealed that it is proven that meteors can make sound - just not in the way everyone thought. Turns out meteors emit radiation. And if you are near a material the radiation can interact with, it can make a hissing sound. Radiation is transmitted at the speed of light which is why the sound accompanies the visuals. This also explains why I could hear the meteors INSIDE the house. And, I was surrounded by art made of sheet metal and also a metallic large chimney for an indoor fireplace. Scientists have recorded this phenomenon audibly and by measuring the corresponding radiation.

An example where common sense and basic scientific fact got things wrong!!

Okay trolls, chow down! Don’t say I never did anything for you!!!

And to the rest of you, thanks, I am planning on using AQ Hurricanes to power my subs!
