What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless?


Hello ,
I’ll soon be investing in a pair of the new KEF LS50 wireless II speakers and I’m curious what experiences people have had regarding upgrading the power cables on the original wireless model or the new ones.  I haven’t had much luck finding info on this topic looking through past posts (maybe one thread three years ago) so I’m curious what owners may be able to share on this subject now.  I appreciate any information you care to share. Thanks.

That is exactly the reason I reacted the way I did. I see one individual in particular create post after post in the same derogatory manner and it just becomes so grating that a reaction is inevitable. I’m complicit in this, I fully admit that, and if Chuck wants to continue down this path if I post something else in the future then I will be responding in exactly the same manner again. Enough is enough. I have nothing but respect for all the members of this forum, except for MillerCarbon. Any respect owed to him as a fellow member of the community has been forfeited in my opinion due to his behavior. I don’t believe for a second that I’m the only member that feels that way either.  That he continues to behave the way he does is what is truly sad.
OP, it is very simple. If anyone offers you a gift (advise or insult), you can accept the gift or give it back... The question is, to whom does the gift return? Hopefully to the rightful owner. You understand.. It’s only YOURS if you accept it..

Were you insulted? I think not.

Now Welcome to AG, I’m interested if a PC can change the sound. A few think there is a difference when you change a PC. Here is a little information, hope it helps..

Hate to disagree with you, but it's pretty clear that he was, and to some of us the reason why.




No comment on cabling but on the last LS50W, several users noted improvements by adding an external DAC.


This was despite the signal needing to go back to digital for DSP inside the speaker.


My guess is that the additional gain fattened up the sound. Or possibly some added character added by external DAC was euphonic.
Upgraded power cords on active speakers is efficacious. I have tested such things out. Power supplies, amps, etc. in speakers respond to PCs. 

I encourage you to think of your query as being resolved by working with entire sets of cables. Reports of how the LS50 reacts by swapping one PC will be of marginal value to you if it was used in a mixed set of cables. This is how the majority of audiophiles operate, and without particular discussion of the rest of their system, there is no way to isolate what the PC might be contributing. 

Your best solution for advancing your rig in a meaningful way in terms of not only that PC, but all cabling is to attempt comparison of entire sets. This is true for all audiophiles, ones with active or passive speakers. Yes, this is more time consuming, more bother, and potentially more costly, but it is the only way to directly move the rig toward a desired outcome. All other mixing of cables is guesswork. Once a preferred set is selected, then fine tuning is advisable with one or two cables. This is more bother, more time consuming and potentially more costly, but it is the only way to move a system with certainty toward one's goals. Treat the speaker as any other part of the system in terms of cabling.
