| Power Cord Shielding The guy at the stereo shop said that I want the power cord to be shielded.They had the “ifi” brand and some active capacitor looking cans that plug into the sockets. | |
| Power Cord Shielding Thanks gentlemen. At this point, I think I'm just gonna toss the out the voltmeter!I agree.Or donate to some young person getting into the field? | |
| Power Cord Shielding Oldhvymec brought up weaves and routing.When the current is high like a power amp, then the magnetic fields are high, and his suggestions are sage.And it is hard to shield against magnetic fields. | |
| Two speaker Qs “Called it a day”, really was after about 3-4 months of listening at a variety of shops.There were a lot less speakers then, and a lot few good ones.… and the advertising was not as good/biased. | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... For what it’s worth, I was firmly in the “how can cables make a difference” camp before I started trying different versions 6 months ago. A friend of mine who has an amazing system talked me into giving it a try. He told me to look at all the cabl... | |
| 2.1 to 5.2 (Vandersteen 2C) @ctsooner That Lyngdorf AV unit finally arrived… just waiting on cables, center channel and surrounds now… slow progress, but some progress none the less. | |
| New Set Up @jerryg123 just 1st order cross overs… and passive.Regarding the Neats, I have no idea. But there are also speakers like the Dutch-n-Dutch which are powered. And if a powered speaker was chosen then they do not even require a speaker cable.Whether... | |
| New Set Up @jerryg123 I updated my avatar to the current setup. | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... Thanks @thyname I am in fact awaiting an order to arrive, which was placed 6-8 weeks ago.I’ll probably get some Furutech ends for the wall and the inlet, and some RF chokes to put on the cord.I probably need to borrow an o-scope. If you fellows ar... | |
| New Set Up But they are high quality lamp cords with cryogenically aligned copper, and fairy dust. | |
| power cord for mbl n31 An ad hominem attack is exactly what is required when there is nothing to support the magic.Let me let you in on a little something, holmz. When you pretended to decry the inhuman treatment I'm subjected to I knew it was pure virtue signalling. Yo... | |
| Power Cord Shielding When you turn it up all the way do you hear 60 Hz humming noises?Or some harmonic of 60 Hz?Or what is the frequency of the noise on the AC line that needs to be addressed with the shielding?Are you concerned with voltage leaking out or magnetic fi... | |
| power cord for mbl n31 I’ve found most under $100 cables haven't made a difference vs stock cables with any of my equipment . The more expensive cables I have the SQ improvements are obviously heard. The hows and whys of electron flows , the technology etc I could care ... | |
| New Set Up What speaker cables do you use?Literally lampshade wire at the moment.But usually I use Mogami, however I am going to try some Kimber 12TC as they are the lowest inductance that I know of.When the new cable comes in I will remove the lampshade (te... | |
| power cord for mbl n31 If you can spot the BS holmz please point it out I would love to see it. The Buddhist saying is, “that you’ll see it when you believe it”. So I doubt that you would be swayed as you believe that the power cables work.I suggested that the OP compar... |
