| Member Almarg passed away last night I also miss Al. I miss our friendly back and forth discussions. I learned a lot from Al. I can remember, a couple of times, where @geoffkait ruffled Al’s feathers, LOL. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? This is a keeper. 1971gto455ho 520 posts 03-15-2025 at 06:20pm Such BS for the supposedly educated elderly. Perhaps marketing thinks many are lonely, ignored, and have little more than hobbies to pass their time away. So n... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @immatthewj said: @jea48 , but I thought that what I was getting out of this discussion was that the reason after market cords could be an improvement was due to less voltage drop. Which made me think that the voltage drop to be concerned about ... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? In other words, eliminate (a) the amp’s IEC receptacle, (b) the power cord, and (c) the wall receptacle altogether. No, that could create another problem. No power disconnecting means at the hard wired piece of equipment. A plug and receptacle ... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @devinplombier Actually Romex, (NM sheathed cable), can be exposed per NEC. Not exposed down a wall to feed a wall outlet though. NEC requires NM shall be protected from physical damage. (Would 14/2 or 12/2 NM cable be protected from physical d... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @immatthewj Said: I guess if one was to run Romex straight out of the wall and connect it to a IEC connector and connect one’s gear to household AC in that manner, that would be the best solution? Not really. It would merely be an extension of... | |
| AC Power I consider @erik_squires the Audiogon resident expert on Furman power conditioners. He has more knowledge than I on Furman power condioners technologically. @erik_squires is better qualified than I to answer your question regarding the design and ... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? I have tried several upgrade power cords on my Accuphase P4600 amplifier. None sounded better than the stock Accuphase supplies. Upgraded cords seem to darken the sound, reduce openness and airiness. . None sounded better than the stock Accup... | |

| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? Do power cable have to have UL certification? Just curious No law that I know of. As for NEC... NEC code stops at the outlet cover plate of the wall outlet. I am pretty sure there is audio equipment made and sold in the US that is not Listed... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @atmasphere @jea48 Just so you know, solid core wire for a power cord is illegal and for a good reason! On that account, I’m pretty sure your statement above isn’t correct. Yes, a single solid core #14awg or a single solid core #12awg wire, o... | |
