Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power


When talking about CLEAN POWER, what SYMPTOMS or effects are caused by DIRTY or UN-CLEAN power?

I put little pieces of tissue paper on the ends of everyone of my interconnects and power cords. Then once a month I go through and I change them all out and collect all of the dirt that’s in my AC power. It’s kind of like once a month I wipe my systems’ butt.   Makes a huge difference, give it a try…… I feel like I’m really using my head…_

@raysmtb1 LOL. Yeah all this talk about clean power is pure craziness. Power is power, as long as your components turn on and once a month you wipe your butt, who needs anything more than that?

@audphile1 Not sure if you are being a wise-guy like your avatar, but you claim that "power is power" is confusing. Evidently, you purchased a 2K Hurricane Power Cord for your Power Amp? So contrary to your remarks, it looks like power handling is a significant financial aspect of your system? Tell me how the Hurricane Power cord cleaned up your dirty power..(?)

 

@raysmtb1 That statement seems to be throwing shade at yourself, since you have a fair sized conditioner that you are seemingly bypassing. Which leads everyone to believe that, at one time, you thought differently than you do today. In any case, your system is nice, but your cable management is atrocious! ;)

@Goodlistening64. I tried the ideas that I’ve read on these forms about power, and then I talked to some professional electrical engineers, and they explained to me why I was wasting my money. I’m not sure what you found about me hand powered conditioners I’ve only owned a audioquest, which did that thing and I currently have a Mcintosh 1500 but that’s only about power management. They tell you that it doesn’t do any kind of conditioning like a PS audio in the manual.

My cable management is atrocious.. I am a victim of. How easy it is to just find what you need on Amazon and it shows up at your house the next day… I’m one of the people that just believe in purchasing a decent cable and it makes no more of a difference, then if you put a coat hanger between Components

yeah that

who said anything about AQ Hurricane cleaning power for the amp? My amp is plugged into the wall outlet. It also has a very beefy power supply that filters power and lowers the noise floor. At that point, it is all about delivering power which the solid copper High Current AQ Hurricane does in spades. The design also reduces RF and ground noise. So it is about quality power delivery to the Class A Pass Labs amp. 
 

My source components, preamp, DAC and phono stage are all plugged into the Puritan PSM156 that lowers the noise floor and allows the components to shine. 
Lowered noise floor = darker background, moore details, less harshness, more natural presentation and bigger soundstage.
