| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? "We’ll not really PC are BS." - really, how does your system sound without one? Probably similar to an acoustically well treated room that has no system in it. | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? And…no placebo here. I’ve gone thru enough power cables, cheap and expensive , with both good and bad results to know these cables matter. Take it for what it’s worth. My experience. My ears. Obviously synergy plays into the selection of the r... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @gs5556 , thank you for that explanation! That makes total sense when it is explained that way. | |
| Dickie Betts died earlier today at 80 years of age When I got out of college in KY in 1981 I rode my my motorcycle to Daytona Bike Week in FL and although i75 was a strait shot down the middle of GA , I rode as much of trip as I could down Hwy 41. @jbuhl , we were almost on the same raod at al... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? I tried and absolutely did not like Shunyata Alpha NR v2 on pass amp. @audphile1 , I don't have a Pass and that power cord is out of my league, but from your statement above, I assume that you did hear a difference? What was it that you heard... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Seriously you are complaining about leaf blowers? Then you attempt to add credence by discussing bird numbers. Perhaps you can get a grant. Please no more! I remember a member who went by @jumia who was going off about leaf blowers for a while... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? You're one of the few who are not dealing with expectation bias and realize there is no objective difference between power cables and I applaud you. @roadcykler , if you read the OP, he states that he did hear a difference when he replaced the... | |
| little big win @asvjerry , I've been meaning to ask for a while, when you enclose an alphabetical character in asterisks, such as this *L* what are you intending to convey? | |
| little big win Does this mean I should take the wet towels down? | |
| Cary SLI-80 tweaks and improvements? Coincidentally I just got an email from Cary Direct about the SLI80, and in a review a customer is raving about the soundstage and the Hexfreds: "I am currently a couple of weeks in with this great amplifier in my system. I am using it in mainly ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? It could be that the $500 cable you mention may not be the best premium PC in its price class for YOUR system @waytoomuchstuff , OP has stated that he upgraded FROM a $500 power cord to a power cord that cost "several thousand." | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? immatthewj I’m incapable of believing the high dollar amount is necessary. I assume they could get 90% of the high dollar benefit for 10% of the cost. @jon_5912 , well, that is your prerogative. I don’t personally have enough experience with t... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? Can I tell you what it did exactly? I don’t know really. But I liked it. I know lame. Actually I can relate to feeling that way about an upgrade. The fact that you are not hearing that with the 'several k' power cord kind of makes me think you... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @roxy1927 , thanks for clarifying; I thought I knew what you meant but I wasn't positive. When you got the Pass did it have the OEM cord, or did you have the $500 cord already installed when you got it? If it came with the OEM cord I am really ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? 2. If you deem a $500 power cord expensive, it's pretty safe to say your system is fairly entry level. @roxy1927 , did you upgrade FROM a $500 cord, or did you upgrade TO a $500 cord? |
