| Power Conditioners I looked at the Shunyata Research Venom Defender AC Power Line Reducer and even though I have worked in AC power systems I can't begin to tell what it does (or might do). I am not trolling or trying to thread crap.My question for all of you who h... | |
| Are my standards too high? Kenjit, I don’t know if your post is serious, but I’ll give you a serious response. All speakers necessarily are made with compromises, both to cost and to physics. The notion of perfection is entirely subjective, and moreover since I don’t know w... | |
| Game Changing Tweak @bemused-- You wrote:"From perusing the web site, ADD-Powr is appears to be about increasing "energy", or the voltage of the audio signal through the generation of harmonics on the reference supply that are too low in frequency to be filtered awa... | |
| Game Changing Tweak One other thing ADD-Powr says in describing their technology: "They generate and propagate low frequency signal information to affect harmonic change to audio signals. They super saturate the AC line voltage with harmonics to affect a 1 to 5% in... | |
| Game Changing Tweak Geez, where were you guys on the thread about improvements from AC power cords?Current harmonics occur on power lines due to non-linear loads, of which there are many. Do they affect the sound coming out of your system? I read through ADD-Powr's... | |

| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? @audio-unionVery interesting comments. It would absolutely be a challenge, perhaps impossible, to analyze blind testing data to develop a scale to predict system performance. However, I don't think that's what double blind testing is really abou... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Dan Recklinghausen, HH Scott's Chief Engineer, famously said: "If it measures good and sounds bad - it is bad. If it measures bad and sounds good - you've measured the wrong thing."I am not a cable naysayer - in fact, if I cared more I would res... | |
| powercords @boxer1. Interestingly, I haven’t really read about power cords before, though I have read a lot of threads about interconnects and speaker cables. I’m not trying to be a denier per se. If people hear a difference, they hear a difference. But I w... | |
| powercords One question that I posed actually has not been answered in this thread, which is how would a power cord make a difference? I mean theoretically speaking. Would it not have to change the characteristic of electricity between the outlet itself and ... | |
| powercords I am curious where people found fault with the video that Paul77e posted. It seemed to me to be a reasoned argument, based on science, amplifier design, and hands on experience.I am not an audio designer, electrician or physicist, but I did work ... |
