Power cable from wall socket to power strip
Hej
Firstly; yes I believe that cables makes a difference. All cables. I don’t want a discussion with ”non believers”.
I use a power strip (Wireworld Matrix 2) which is connected to the wall socket with a Furutech Empire. But now I need a little longer power cable and I thought; does the power cable from the wall socket to the power strip really matter? I mean, all the way to my wall socket it’s just ordinary wire, so why should the part to the power strip matter. It’s just the last bit to the devices that matters, I’ve been told. Or…?
What are your thoughts about this?
I just removed my isotek evo 3 polaris for a $75 hospital grade power strip and the faint hum in my subs disappeared. The main reason I decided to get rid of it was the blades in the isotek inlets are crap - all the plugs were loose. I'm ordering this to replace the power strip https://www.cullencable.com/gold-series-power-box-6-outlet-receptacle-strip/ You can probably get one made with a longer cable if 4ft isn't enough. |
Go to the Nordost website. They have a presentation explaining what they believe is the order of importance of each cable in a system. The power cable out of the wall socket is number one, more important than connectors. I believe that was part of a demonstration they’ve done at audio shows. Hope this helps. |
I have found that my sound is best from my superior cables being plugged into my components. I tried my best cable from the wall to distributor, but it did not work well. Currently, my wall to distributor is serviced by an adequate, but unspectacular cable. I think it would be good to upgrade the wall to distributor cable, but I am not certain if I would notice a large improvement. A little improvement would be nice, but I wouldn't expect anything dramatic at this point. |
No, you are not stupid, just logical. Why would a manufacturer not build a high quality conditioner with a high quality power cable that was matched and hardwired to the unit? No upsell opportunities. |
