| Acrolink Cables, anyone heard them? I'm still using the 8N-A2080 Mk 1, as I have yet to have had anything in-house that surpasses it. Unfortunately the Mk 3 is way beyond my means. | |

| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... I repeat: if a PC is supplying enough juice to a component (sufficient awg and OK metallurgy), then if you hear a difference it must be because of one or both of two reasons: the PC is doing something to the current flowing through it, and/or the ... | |
| NBS 3S power cable You would have to experiment. Every set-up is different. Relatively easy to move it from one component to the next and listen... | |

| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Can we think about this logically (can we?)?So long as the metallurgical properties of the cable are capable of carrying the AC, and so long as the size of the wire is sufficient to the current draw, then it seems to me that the ways in which a PC... | |

| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... PCs are going to have less of an impact on the sound of your system than ICs or speaker cables. Optimize after those are set. | |

| DIY interconnect just arrived ~~navships~~, true High Fidelity If you do any research on this guy, all that he's selling is military surplus, so it starts life as mil spec. Whether that offers good applications for home stereo is up for debate, but at least it's a reasonable starting point. I'd say at the le... |
