Tape Tech / Power cord sonic improvement potential?
« on: March 19, 2010, 07:19:01 AM »
We audiophiles went through the discovery that speaker cables make a serious sonic difference back in the 80's. Then even more astounding in the 90's was the discovery that power cables make a huge sonic difference. I remember the shock I had back in the early 90's when I replaced the stock, fat Belden power cord on my big, $3000 Krell amp with what seemed insanely priced $500 esoteric powercord (now that would be cheap today price-wise) and could not believe the improvement in sound. My reaction was that the folks from Krell hadn't ever heard themselves the true capability of their design, (I'm a Cornell EE). I was looking at the skinny little zip-cord that runs into the back of my massive Tascam 42B last night and couldn't help but think that replacing it would be a major sonic improvement. Have any of you experimented at all in this area?
