Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Yang Hong, dont try and persuade audiophools here.  Its kinda like Copernicus trying to persuade that the earth revolved around the sun :-) 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Not again......Power cables do NOT affect amplifier sound.Having said that, if your cable CURRENT rating is not adequate enough to supply the necessary CURRENT to begin with, you MAY experience some improvement.  At the end of the day, remember th... 
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
Exactly and I "feel" that CDs sound way better than vinyl :-)

And the other 5% are superhumans.. as I keep on saying :-)Kinda like cold fusion :-) 
New $24,000 inter-connect
Those interconnects are built in gravity free space so that all the molecules are arranged perfectly.  It includes the cost of the space shuttle launch and all the labor costs of manufacturing in earth's orbit.  Very cheap in my opinion :-)

I understand BOTH formats have their strengths and weaknesses.  That was not the purpose of the discussion.  Maybe I miswrote the headline.It was meant to be read by people who CLAIM that vinyl is ALWAYS better then digital.  And to that, I say NO...

And to all vinylistas, who highlight the "shortcomings" of sampling, do you think that the small groove of a record is large enough to be able to store all frequencies from 20 - 20 khz, not to mention the relative intensities, ie the dynamic range... 
Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
Hi wolf_garcia....Best comment made on this thread so far :-)

I also actually LIKE listening to vinyl too but NOT becoz it sounds better but becoz it LOOKS better when a big nice platter steadily turns and produces music.  And I admit that.....

It was Irish.  I lived in England for 13 years so I recognize it very easily. 
Suggestion for best stereo amp ?

I grew up with JBL Century L100s and I am very close to getting either JBL S3900 or JBL S4700.They are not talked of much in these threads but I have a thing for JBLs :-)

Thanks for all your recommendations.  There seems to be many choices.  I have to listen to them all.The ONLY concern with Pass I have is the furnace effect.  But I guess class A has its cost...... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Hi ramtubes,About your variac suggestion :-)  Funny you mentioned that since I also came to the exact same conclusion.  I have rectifiers & capacitors already lying around with which I can build an un-regulated variac based power supply.  All ...

I am also looking for a lab/bench symmetric power supply of up to +/- 100 volts DC at about 2 - 3 amps (so about 500 - 600 watts) and having a very difficult time finding it.  The very rare ones I have seen are in excess of $1500.  I need such a s...
