Power Conditioner vs A/C cables

Some big IBM mainframes used motor generators.

Motor Generators? 

You mean a Gen Set? A generator with an Engine?

That is the absolute dirtiest source you can have. Nasa has a few clean runners.. BIG cat gen sets.. BUT they are made for power not clean power, none I've worked on anyway.. I was in charge of 3 CAT genset in Vegas at CES in 2003 and 5. The smart vendors figured it out QUICK.

People were putting their fingers in their ears, dirty power.. The casinos didn't have the juice, it was even WORSE..

A few Cooled the Power supply and were very successful in spite of it all.. I was at a Florida show .. EAR PLUGS it was so bad.. Hoody and ear plugs, YUP.. Everybody was bitchin'. Crap power, BOILING highs. Just bad. Could not get any of the Florida booths sounding right..

How important is the power supply? It's a "Elvis has left the building" thing for me...

AC CABLE UPGRADE FOR SURE 

Up until a couple weeks back, I had an old Shunyata Venom power conditioner that I’ve had for years and never really believed it made much difference. My dealer asked if I’d be willing to help him break in a new Denali 6000S conditioner. All I can say is holy crap...the sq difference was immense out of the box. I’m not dialed in to all the audiophile terminology, but everything was shockingly clearer, the noise floor seemed to disappear, even seemed to add more specificity in placing musicians in the soundstage. Great sales pitch as there’s no way I’ll be able to let this go.

PS Audio offers a line of power generators that suits most budget needs. The after market AC power cords will benefit them because these generators are more like amps than conditioners. I have the P15 and use a AQ power cord and they work great in my system.
