| SIlver Resolution Power Cable - by Signal Cable Syntax - not really worried, just trying to figure out if there would be any benefit over the Furutech cables I currently own.I own silver I terconnects and love the detail - figured a silver alloy power cord is the next step up from copper withou... | |
| Question about electrical outlets Gvasale - apologies, I used the wrong term - the method of connection I was referring to is a "BUSBAR", where each outlet is wired directly to a single live and neutral point or rail - as opposed to bridging the wire from outlet to outlet.I've fou... | |
| Question about electrical outlets Apologies - the first time I Googled wiremold something else much less Impressive came up - you might find the Furman power bar will not perform any better than the wiremold.A power conditioner might be your next best bet. This cleaned up my syste... | |

Mceljo - high-end components are able to reveal details that more modestly priced components are unable to.Therefore, other posters are correct in their assertion that being able to hear the effect of "cable changes" is easier with hi-end gear - i... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... Mceljo - one last tidbitI tried 13, 12, and 10 gaude cables on my amp and although the details were pretty much the same, the bass response and dynamics improved as the thicker gauge cable was installed. Would an 8 gauge improve performance any mo... | |
