Why Power Cables Affect Sound

@mrdecibel  Mr D. I am willing to do that power cable swap in a few weeks and report back. For now I am going to get back to the music for a while. I spent a month on this exeriement and I plan to simply "enjoy the music" as you say for a bit. The... 
So you want to build a good sounding audio system hu?
I got my first system in 1975. My brother returned home from Vietnam with a Pioneer receiver and a Gerard turntable he gave me. Later my parents allowed me to get a pair of speakers. I ended up adding some Radio Shack super tweeters to them lol. B...

I agree on speakers should be the first price of gear you buy and the largest part of your budget. I have power as number 1 because clean power is oh so important. I also think the room should be considered before you buy any gear at all. Most peo...

@mrdecibel  Mr D! first let me say that I can't believe that its 1AM and Im up replying to a post on Audiogon. There must be more to life. "I don’t know about this test. You and this audiophile buddy, discussed what it was you would be listening f...

@vair68robert Thanks. Hopefully all the typos while replying on my cell phone did not annoy you too much. In regards to using a burn in device I think I’m burned out from burning in lol. In the future a new cable will just go where I put it in my ...

So for me the matter of if burn in of an aidio csble makes a difference. It’s settled for me anyway. I am stating that allowing your cables to go through a burn in does make a difference. Now whether you think that difference sounds better is subj...
