Power Cord Revelation

joey. I would GREATLY appreciate your comparison between th FA and SR. What are you using this PC for? Have you tried PC on your source or pre? Did you find PC to help on the amps?

I agree with Mootsdude too. I put a Fusion Audio power cable on my cdp and was absolutely amazed at the increased detail and dynamics. I did not however hear as much of an improvement with adding power cords to my amps but I expected that.

jayctoy, your comments about PCs making a difference is interesting to me. I have the Pass Labs XA160s and I have found PCs to make a very subtle difference, perhaps a bit more dynamic. I expected this as most amps have massive power supplies and filters. I don't pretend to understand what is going on here. I would love to hear your thoughts on what improvements you heard on your amps with a new PC? By the way, thats one thing about this hobby I love/hate...everybody has a different experience.

For the Fusion Audio users, does any use these cords on their cdp? If so, what improvement did you notice?

Thanks Sherod. I actually have the Impulse on my DAC right now and I had it on my previous one box cdp. I am going to try the Enchanters next. I was told the Enchanters are really meant for high current applications like amps but I am going to give them a shot on my transport and cdp.

I was just curious what other Fusion Audio users have heard.

jylee, consider yourself lucky that you do not have to spend money on power cords!!!! Thats what makes this hobby so fun/frustrating. There is no formula or right or wrong. For me, I was not a power cord believer until recently. From my experiences, power cords make the biggest difference on the source, but I think this is dependent on the source. In my system, power cords made a big difference on my Esoteric cdp. I have found power cords to make less of am impact on my Pass amps. I will audition the SR Precision Ref and Hologram A on my amps though just to verify that I do not hear much if any difference. The same with my previous preamp, Audio Research Ref 3. The stock cords sounded best.

But as mootsdude pointed all, power cords (and everything in this hobby) is dependent on synergy as well as a myriad of other factors and variables. If the right mix of variables allows power cords to make a positive difference great. If not, consider yourself lucky!
