| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Rwwear, I'll pick up cordially on your comment, "My assertion was for those unfortunately hard of understanding is that you can not compare dozens of cables and remember what the first one sounded like. If you can, you're an amazing person."Well, ... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Rwwear, skepticism is allowed. Does a conductor's judgment become convoluted by hearing dozens of symphonies? Does a circuit designer's judgment become convoluted by designing dozens of circuits? Your argument that the more experience I have makes... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Rwwear, I'll take that title "fanatic" as a complement. :) If using several sets of cables in comparison is fanatical, then it applies. If facilitating dozens upon dozens of real world comparisons on the effects of cables (including comparison of ... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Funny? Hardly. Back to the Wireworld; I did direct comparison between two models of interconnects and speaker cables with only the conductor (copper vs. silver over copper) different. The change in sound was no laughing matter. But remember, one h... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Rwwear, my point wasn't the ofc (oxygen free copper) as the cable being silver coated copper. A silver conductor sounds quite a bit different than copper. | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Liguy, well, count me as one of the most interested in your findings! :) I always distinguish between noticeable differences and efficacious differences. It's one thing for an effect to be noticeable, but another to be efficacious, that is "worth ... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Another thought strikes me; is it possible, Liguy, that you have been comparing/using power cords which are somewhat similar in characteristics? i.e. Aftermarket 14 total gauge with stranded conductors, vs. your 12 total Ga. with stranded conducto... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Liguy, with respect, the Home Depot cords are horrid. I happen to have made some for myself years ago when I was first experimenting with comparisons of power cords. I thought I was genius to get "top quality" sound on the cheap. But when I compar... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Liguy, ok, very nice additional explanation; thank you! So, your position is that any component which can be influenced sonically via power cords has a compromised power supply. Correct?Which components/companies would you say have "done their hom... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Liguy, I would like to know which audiophile components you have supplied designs for power supplies. I am assuming, of course, that you refer to designing power supplies for audiophile components. If not, then your entire discussion of the non-ne... | |
| Suggestions? Planar like Dynamic speaker under 2K You may want to consider upgrading the LFT-8A to "B" status; the change is to the tweeter, but the entire speaker sounds influenced by the improvement. Read my review of this change to the LFT-8 at Dagogo.com You will not do much better than the L... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? The seating position discussion has muddied the waters unnecessarily. I believe the intent was to discuss the fact that other variables are at work, as well as the variable of the sound of the cables. I would hope we all agree that seating postion... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Al, If I have you thinking that's a good thing; it means there's some meat on my comments. :) When I use the terms 'sets' or 'suites" of cables I mean the whole group - PC/IC/SC/ and digital or phono, whichever applicable. If one uses only a power... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Corazon, you are also contributing well to the discussion, thank you.Here are your answers based on my experiences with comparing sets of cables:#1 Absolutely cables' sound ARE influenced by a myriad of system variables. I am not taking the positi... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Bryan, some great thoughts which show you are open-minded about all of this as well as able to think critically. Your question in regard to the distinction between systems and components is a good one. My answer is that in general, yes, a specific... |
