Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Should have resisted: They do make huge improvements. Open your ears. May I tactfully suggest that if someone can't hear a considerable improvement between a good quality aftermarket power cord in their system utilized in place of the typical stoc... 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
This is the answer to your question:There are 2 widely disparate "camps" about whether power cords can make a noticeable change in the sound of your system (assuming adequate gauges/capacity for the accompanying component)There are those who swear...

Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Hi guys!!! I'm still here too (Or should I say "Hearing" too).No one wants to kick a sleeping junkyard dog so we're not going to run with this again but you've already heard good advice: dial in your components with each other first; become very f... 
Anyone try Triode wire labs or Empirical Design
I have never tried either of the other two you mentioned, but I am a big fan of Triode Wire Labs. I found them to be very natural sounding as they really brought a convincing sense of "reality" to my system. I use a pair of TWL 8 gauges on my mono... 
Should I bother to try a subwoofer?
I too am a huge REL fan. Teajay said it correctly in the first post. I bought a Stadium 2 almost 15 years ago and have found it had dramatic improvements in every single pair of speakers I have ever used it with including:Martin Logan Aerius i's, ... 
Harmonic Technology Interconnects
Thanks for the heads up on the WyWyres as I have been reading about their digital cables lately; guess they have a lot going for them overall. Just when I finally told myself that I was at a satisfying/stable/content-for-now plateau you have to te... 
Harmonic Technology Interconnects
Hey Rockadanny- May I ask the obvious question: What did you like better than the Magic 2's?? BTW; beautiful system...I'm sure you've got some "heavenly sound" with those monos and the Egglestons. 
Sonic Frontiers Line 3 Mod by Parts Connection?
Sorry I can't directly answer your question about PCX upgrades but I would imagine Firebat may have a point when he says some people underestimated the break-in time for their upgrades... I also agree that Ckoffend makes a good point about the act... 
Harmonic Technology Interconnects
Harmonic Technology is my long term favorite and I pretty much use it exclusively in 99% of my system including the internal wiring of my pre-amp (H/T silver) as well as bi-wired speaker cables (both Pro-9 using the woofer leads alone for my mid/t... 
Power Cord for Power Conditioner
Is it SO hard to acknowledge that thousands of people CAN hear readily definable, consistently repeatable, unquestionably legitimate improvements in their stereo systems by using aftermarket powercords yet, because YOU and however many others CAN'... 
Power Cord for Power Conditioner
Grant / Samuel: Thank you for the thorough dissertation and helpful clarifications. My ears were never in doubt but maybe now more will try and so hear the improvements for themselves. BTW, I've been meaning to explore your product line. Keep up t... 
Power On First/Off Last Device?
Ooops, sorry Rodman, that was supposed to be five 9's plus 1 plus 1. 
Power On First/Off Last Device?
Rodman9999+1+1For safety's sake, the proper order is exactly the way Loomisjohnson described... I am adamant about it in my system and don't even let others "activate the start-up sequence!" 
Power Cord for Power Conditioner
We've all seen or heard about the rather dim witted bully who loves to instigate trouble by picking on the apparently weaker or defenseless skinny kid, kid with braces, "geekier" kid, or whoever...Finally someone comes along who challenges him by ...
