| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... Dave33 - Could you post any specifics on the system that he had? I would be curious to know what speakers, receiver, etc. were in play. | |
| Happy music... I think my three Gabor Boldoczki albums are about as uplifting (i.e. happy) to listen to as anything I have ever heard. It isn't "playground fun" but more like the happiness you get from Ode to Joy or The Messiah done well. The albums are listed b... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... TLS49 - My interest in checking out power cords is too potentially improve the sound of my system, but the driving force that motivates me is curiosity to find out if I can actually hear a difference in my system rather than any unhappiness with t... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... Tls49 - I think you missed that my example included that the smaller diameter pipe had adequate capacity to carry "all of the available water" meaning that a larger pipe would never be able to carry more in reality because it simply wasn't availab... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... Jmcgrogan2 - In theory, if the goal of audio equipment is to reproduce the original signal as close to the original as is possible then it would be expected that as the various pieces of equipment get better and better the resulting sound should b... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... "And why would it matter that the power cord be 12, 10, or 9 gauge when it is the last 6 feet to the amp with 30, 40, 50 feet or more of 14 gauge feeding the system outlet through connections of inexpensive outlets? As I said, dedicated lines shou... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... Williewonka - Thanks for the information. While I struggle to wrap my mind around the objective reality for what you're saying, I do greatly appreciate your clearly written posts from your experiences. It definately gives some credibility to the p... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... I'm not in this with the specific goal of improving the sound of my system, but rather to evaluate for myself the reality of sonic difference from a power cord with a secondary benefit of potentially improving my system.Jmcgrogan2 - I guess what I... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... Williewonka - "A good power cord will contribute to those transient demands being better satisfied resulting in a better image, which in turn improves clarity and image."What are the design parameters that allow this to happen? What is a good powe... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... Vegasears - It makes absolutely no sense to me that smaller AWG power cords would outperform larger AWG power cords. If the primary issue is the ability to transfer power and I'm assuming that configuration/design of the cables you were comparing ... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... Thanks for all the responses. I'm not opposed to a DIY option when the time comes, but I do prefer to try a manufactured product as it seems that there should be some science to it that could be missing when simply mixing and matching from DIY par... | |
| Bored with my B&W Zepplin Air I really enjoy my audioengine A2 and A5+ speakers. I have NOT heard the Zepplin so I can't make a direct comparison.I have been extrememly impressed with my A5+ speakers, especially when I have them connnected to my good SACD player rather than us... | |
| Happy music... While I have only heard one song from this album, I would highly recommend "Life of Tango" with Alfredo Marcucci. I finally identified the song, on Friday, that is on a burned copy of a demo CD used at my local audio store. I ordered the CD within... | |
| Marantz CD6005,SA8004 or Oppo 105? If you look on Amazon you will see quite a few SACD options and in my experience they are almost always excellent recordings. It seems that if the goal was SACD then it makes sense to listen to it in that format. I also have a Sony blu-ray player ... | |
| Marantz CD6005,SA8004 or Oppo 105? I personally wouldn't get anything that wasn't SACD capable. You may not care about the surround SACD option, but it would also increase your options going forward. I have a Pioneer Elite stereo SACD player that the few people that care seem to li... |
