Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s
Having been listening to music for over 30 years the tweak I had resisted was power cables and mains blocks.
I took the plunge spent £400 on mains cables and a mains block through Mark Grant cables in the UK. All hand made. It was easy for me as he lives 15 mins away.
The quality of the product is excellent the sound difference, just tighter, clearer, no noise, it is like lifting a veil off the speakers the whole sound just seems clearer, greater separation and increasing the width, height and depth.
I recommend you look at your power cables and mains block rather than spend £0000's on new boxes. I wish I had taken the plunge years ago. I have never heard Marc Cohn or Jackson Browne sound so good.
I have a nice set up. Amplifiers Croft Epoch Elite and Croft Twinstar 1 both modified by Glenn Croft, Melco Streamer, Exposure Dac and Piega Classic 40.2 speakers with Lfd Speaker cable and BK sub Xxl 400. I could not be happier.
Enjoy the music.

@geoffkait Many manufacturers do it. Every Furutech bulk power cable I have seen for instance, Nanotec does it. Supposedly derived from testing wires before wrapping and labeling. I guess its a thing. Hard to listen to pre-terminated PCs backwards. Has anybody tried to “reverse” ICs or speaker cables to see if you can identify a difference? |
Here are some more conceptual overviews on power system concepts and optimization for audio from the same manufacturer. Full disclosure, I own some Shunyata products and currently like and use several of them, but have some in the box, replaced by various power cables assembled by me or a small vender on Agon that provide high value at a reasonable price point. This is not an endorsement of their products, just a reference to what I see as some sensible and simple descriptions of how well designed power products do their job to improve overall system sound. https://shunyata.com/2014/05/02/electrical-system-concepts/ https://shunyata.com/2014/05/02/electrical-system-optimization/ kn |
Markgw, here is something to check out related to speed of transients relative to spikes in power draw, how different cable designs might affect this, and how it can be measured. https://shunyata.com/2019/07/11/power-cord-measurements-revolutionary-dtcd-analysis/ https://shunyata.com/2017/06/22/dtcd-technology/ kn |
