Why exotic power cords?
Human nature seems bent on quick fixes. And what could be a better fix for an audiophile in search of musical nirvana then a hot new amp...preamp...digital converter...? You get the idea. While the sound of the new component is usually different, seldom does it put your quest to bed. So, if components by themselves can't bring ultimate happiness, what does?
Think about it. What do all A/V systems have in common? Electricity! The simple truth is that any system (no matter how expensive) gets plugged into an electric outlet. And this, my friend, is the lowest common denominator. Think about it, electricity was never intended to be pristine. Your lights, refrigerator, washing machine, dryer, computer, air conditioner don't really need pristine electricity, although they would actually run better, and last longer if it was!
If you're among the group that agrees electricity is a problem, but that it is impossible for a power cord to correct miles of preceding electric anomalies- I feel your pain! Even though electricity as supplied by the electric companies is corrupted by a wide variety of interferences both within and outside your home, large improvements can be made that will make your system sound significantly better.
Here are the basic steps to truly better A/V enjoyment:
1) If your equipment can accept an after market power cord, audition as many power cords as possible. Make sure you give your power cord at least one week of listening to break in. The sound can change many different times during this process. Different components require different power consumption and react differently to the power supplied to them. Do this one at a time. Different power cord designs will sound different on each component. Due to this, a really great sounding cord on your DAC may not be the best for your Amp and vice-versa. But you may be surprised to find that the same cord sounds great with all your components. (Caution: There is nothing wrong with using the same power cords throughout ones system, but don’t assume the same cord will allow each component to sound its best without prior audition of other cords.)
2) Get a real world power conditioner- this is not a job for pretend want-to-be power conditioners. The best available technology is "balanced power conditioners" like PS Audio, Equi=tech, and Furman and others. Accept no substitutes. You can go to their websites for an education on why "balanced power" is the power of choice for any A/V system. (Please let us know of other manufactures so we can list.)
3) If your budget permits, get a DEDICATED power outlet for your audio system. The ideal would be at least two of them. A dedicated line should be installed by a licensed electrician and may require permits. You should request at least a 10 gauge wire with an exceptional ground. If possible, you may want to have separate ground poll installed for each line. Don’t assume that the water pipes are the best ground.
