Do power supply units/cables make a difference in sound quality?
Oh forgive me for being new to this forum and asking a question some of you are tired of answering.  Fortunately, I did get useful answers which led me to conclude my money is better spent on getting a new cartridge than it is with power supply eq... 
Do power supply units/cables make a difference in sound quality?
pwerahera I have the same view as you express in your post.  I wanted to see if anyone on this forum could give me convincing argument to change my mind.  The cost of these power control units and cables is far to high for the benefit the purport ... 
Do power supply units/cables make a difference in sound quality?
Indeed. That is my conclusion.  I will invest in a new cartridge for my turntable.  I think the Koetsu has worn down.  That will make a hearable difference playing records. Thanks all who took the time and trouble to answer my question.

Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers
I started my audiophile life in the 1970s with a pair of Magneplanar Tympany 1Ds.  The astounded me with their ability to make the music sound live and real.  I have had more than one pianist think someone was in my house playing.  I stuck with th...

Steve, Thank you for taking the time to post such an informative description on the subject of cables.  I buy into the contribution of high quality connecting cables between components up to a point of cost/benefit.  The value of a power supply un... 
Do power supply units/cables make a difference in sound quality?
Carlsbad:  Your comments coincide with my beliefs.  I somehow could not wrap my head around how the quality of sound would be affected by the electric connection cables assuming they were adequate for the needed flow and fit will with no interfere... 
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
It is easy enough to skip reading a post you feel is offensive, and it is also easy enough to learn which posters are systematically irritating to you and avoid reading them. It is not up to you or a moderator to decide a poster’s opinion or view ... 
How do you arrange the order of your records?
Chaos.  Hunt and discover.  1500 vinyl and 3500 cds,  all CDs displayed horizontal so the titles can be read in the storage drawers and rack.  If I want a specific disc, I stream it via Quobuz or Idagio.  Hi-rotation CDs make a small pile in a she... 
A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC?
BTW, the stream of Hi-res Quobuz, Idagio and Tidal via my Bluos Node is superb. It is one of three sound sources:  CDs, Vinyl and Bluos stream.  It gives up nothing to the vinyl or CDs.  
A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC?
One person's experience regarding your question:  I recently swapped my system CD player from a Jolida to a Classe Audio CDP-102 CD Player.  The difference was of an order of magnitude.  Imaging was improved greatly.  The clarity and realism of th... 
What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?
If I hear a component on my system that makes a noticeable increase in the sound toward my reference, the question I ask is whether the cost of that component justifies the change it will make.  A $5,000 cartridge may make a significant difference... 
What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?
An audiophile is a person who has a reference sound for music that represents their most enjoyable listening and attempts to get as close to that reference when reproducing music electronically.  For me, the sound of acoustic instruments and human...
