| My First DIY Power Cable Another great option for connectors are IeGO IEC's and Edison plugs. Take a peek: https://alexsoundtech.com/iego/materials-technology I have found them to sound better than their Furutech or Oyaide counterparts. Silver is crazy expensive but so... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Ozzy. Cotton as a high voltage dielectric "can work", but this has to be approached in a dielectric hybrid manner. Stupid is as stupid does! | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Holmz. Cotton is one of the best. I use it in my cabling extensively. It is mostly air in construct, plus it is resistant (immune) to energy storage. Being an organic fiber is a very good thing. I build interconnects and USB cables with cores... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Chris knows. His experiences dovetail with my own. Teflon is a PITA when it comes to break-in... hours and hours and hours. Polypropylene is better when it comes to time. Polyethylene takes less time, yet. Foamed versions of each are quicker.... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? My Aegir amp is quite good driving high sensitivity speakers. Sensitivities below 90dB/1W/1m... not so much | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? OK. What is far more likely is that the 48 Amp value is actually how much current is present when the power supply of the amp is shorted. Its available to the output section in the form of charged capacitance. This is used to help reduce IMD in th... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? atmosphere... I’m a power supply guy and it occurred at a show in a discussion with Nelson, who is also a power supply guy. I, too have read about that number in reviews... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @bruce19 You do you. I keep forgetting what it is to have a "discussion" here 🙄 Here we go round in circles... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? atmashere I've read that link several times in the past. BTW, I like your amps! The quote came from Nelson Pass. | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? Abruce19 You missed my point. I am a proponent of large gauge dedicated wiring runs from ythe service entrance to the system... NOT thin gauge romex. Power cables do not store energy, at least the good ones don’t. I built my first amp when I wa... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? Holmz, there is no future in trying to have a cogent discussion with a person that misses 90% of the conversation to dwell on 10%. You are obviously so much smarter than I am. To quote directly from one of many reviews on the Xs300: "The Xs 300 m... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @Bruce19 Basic physics. Everytime you double the size of a conductor, you reduce the resistance of the conductor by half. Output impedance is the product of LCR. Reducing any aspect of the impedance allows the available current to increase ... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? Bruce19 - output impedance current well | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? I guess all the "me too" posts makes it official: they don't know what they're talking about. All the best, Nonoise +1 ********************* Isn't it curious how one side says: I hear things 👍🏼 and the other side calls those people stupid. | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality Disregard the cable, I’m retired. Do try the wall wart connection inversion. You may find one orientation as superior. Let us know how this works out for you. Above all have fun and this hobby/obsession is all about serving the music in the best... |
