How do you determine whether to buy a 15 amp or 20 amp power conditioner? Simply by the size of the AC circuit it is plugged into or are there other factors like the demands of the audio system?
Why does better power = better sound?
Why does improving power quality improve sound quality?
I’m not asking to start an argument about power cords or wall outlets. Please let’s not go there. I’m asking because I’m hoping to learn some technical explanations for the effects of power quality on sound quality. I think I already understand how…
1. greater current availability = greater dynamic range
2. reduction of RFI/EMI = better signal to noise ratio
…but what about these…
3. ???????? = greater perceived resolution
4. ???????? = more realistic instrument timbres
5. ???????? = more precise imaging
Are differences in resolution, instrument timbres, imaging, etc. somehow reducible to current availability and/or powerline noise? If so, HOW are they reducible?
Again, I’m hoping to get into technical specifics, not polemical generalities.
Thanks in advance.
