| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Can someone please post @doitwithlife’s photos in this thread so they are easily visible? Please make sure to cite him as the source in your post. | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @mzk If I’m understanding @doitwithlife correctly, he’s saying that the input power to his PS Audio regenerator is cleaned up significantly with an aftermarket power cable. The power regenerator is doing such a good job cleaning up the signal that... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @doitwithlife Wow, that’s pretty fascinating! I wonder why cable manufacturers don’t do demos like that? Or maybe they do and I’m not aware of them. Honestly, I bought my cables without seeing a demo or hearing them. I went off reviews and my posi... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @twinterfinder. I really appreciated to hear your success story! There is also something very unique about it: in your specific case, the fact that your wife noticed the difference in sound and had no idea there was a new power cable in the system... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @jtucker I like your idea. Let’s settle this thing once and for all and produce some measurements. It shouldn’t be hard to do given that the audibility is so apparent. I don’t know exactly what to measure but I would be inclined to look at transie... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound For me, I don’t think it’d be worth the expense though. If I was rich, I’d try it with good used power cables. You don’t have to spend a ton. I got great improvement out of a $150 cable. I’m sure there is better stuff out there for more money but ... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound PS Audio sells “high end” power cords, and even he basically said, in his rebuttal to null tests, that their only real benefit is better shielding for EMIWhen and where did Paul state that? I just watched a video of his where he says the gauge of ... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I do find it interesting that we have not yet learned to take measurements and from those measurements tell if a piece of equipment will sound good to the ear. All good audio designers know this. You use objective science to get close to what you ... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @jea48 I really appreciated those quotes you posted. Thanks! With my power cables, I notice more slam/weight to the bass (which could be caused by the stock cord limiting current) and I notice cleaner treble (perhaps caused by issues with high fre... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Its subjectivism at a fundamental level. Power cords must change the sound or what is everyone hearing? I’m not convinced it’s placebo. I have many examples of hearing placebo effect with my audio system but extended listening tests has flushed th... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I feel sorry for anyone who believes that reputable high end PCs cannot improve the sound of a system in many ways--in fact, too numerous to list.I do too. It’s like going to an art museum with your friend and being brought to tears by the beauty ... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Indeed, if it sounds better to you, go for it. Just keep in mind it’s all placebo.However, I can say with most certainty that the sound coming from your speakers is 100% identicalIt’s not placebo though. I have found the differences in sound betwe... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @Mzkmxcz We might be talking about different things. Mains leakage and EMI are important considerations. I was referring to over-engineered power supplies as a means to improve sound quality and dynamics. It’s long been known that using large powe... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Only poorly designed gear benefits from upgraded power supply cables or power source (power conditioner, etc.).No doubt a well-built, oversized power supply goes a long way towards reaching maximize sound quality. If your product benefits from it,... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Geoff, you’ve mentioned highly polished conductors several times and I don’t know anything about it. Can you explain more, please? |
