Except for making sure you have a good quality PC with a "floating shield" on your DAC or CDP (to eliminate digital RFI) the biggest sonic gain (according to most folks' experience and the recommendation of many PC makers) is to be had by installing a large gauge PC on the power amp(s). By "large gauge" is meant no less than 10 AWG wire per each of the three conductors. Shielding and/or RFI/EMI filtering are nice extras, but this is one instance where size really matters! According to one manufacturer/designer who I greatly respect, it's all about "energy transfer" (?)
quality or quantity?
hi all,
question for my system.if i have "x" amount to spend on power cords,would it be better to spend more on the amps [2] cords and less on pre-amp, phono etc. or would it yield better results to have all 4 or 5 power cords the same?
for those that might ask, all amps [mains,pre,phono] are by lamm...cd player has 5 ft. virtual dynamics.
would greatly appreciate your input as to why one way or the other might be superior.
thanks in advance to all!
