Clean power and it's affect on sound quality
Been reading quite a bit about how clean power can affect sound quality by segregating the system from the dirty grid with power conditioners, high-end power cables, isolators, and even off-grid battery-powered systems.
I've noticed some changes in sound quality with regards to better power supply, especially with regards to the older house I was in vs. the newly built house I'm in now. The older home had a warmer tone due to 50 years of copper wiring being burned in. My new house is brighter because the copper wiring hasn't been burned in yet.
But one thing I also noticed is that when I recently changed the batteries in my remote controls from your typical Duracell batteries to the solar-rechargeable batteries I use now. The sound quality really improved. Dynamics were improved across the board, tonality was warmer...more golden, like a sunset vs. mid-day bright. The soundstage opened up as well with more airiness and clarity to the instrumentation regardless of my media source. I highly recommend using solar-rechargeable batteries for your remotes vs the standard OEC batteries that came with the remote. I think you'll notice a vast improvement in sound quality - being cleaner and warmer.
bipod72 OP The best thing to do is have your speakers face north. The magnetic field from the earth will improve the sound and make you believe that you are listening to much more expensive equipment. It also helps if you paint your speaker magnets with nail polish, but the polish must be organic, or it will make them sound like an AM radio. Be sure to use hot pink because other colors will make your speakers sound dull! 🤣 |
@ellajeanelle If I'm concerned about polarity issues, should I flip the speaker before facing them due North? Do hi-fi enthusiasts in Alaska have noise issues when the Northern Lights are at their most active? I will run fingernail polish tests on these new Cannibus Rex drivers I bought for a DIY kit. Since the drivers use natural fiber, I think your recommendation for the organic polish is a good fit.

@ellajeanelle I'm beginning to think you are trying to pull my leg. I don't think purple paint will help the situation at all. |
