Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?


I just had to share this. I went to synergistic research the other day to get some cables re-terminated. I saw some power cords on the floor and decided to ask about them. Ted, said they were all prototypes, would I like to listen. He brought me into the demo room and played some great music. He switched out the preamp power cord for one of the prototypes and man was it noticably better. Then, he left and came back into the room with a big smile on his face. He pulled a cable from the back that I swear was just recently built. He confirmed that no one had listened to it yet. He put the new power cable on the preamp and...................NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!! It was unbelieveable what a difference I heard. I could not believe how much bigger the sound stage grew, better focus, detail, and faster tighter bass. I had him switch the PC in and out because I just could not believe what I heard. Then he said "lets make it better." He brought it to his Tesla machine and gave it a quantum tunneling. He put it back in the system and to my surprise it was un believably better then what I had just heard. It now made the whole system easily sound 3 times as good. I just could not believe my ears. Then I had to know, how much could I get this cable for. I would think at least $2000 if not $3000. Nope, this will probably go for $500. Well Ted, sign me up for a few of those bad boys.

power cord sound changes are the hi fi version of seeing the loch ness monster

What about a Sasquatch sighting does that count too? I have seen video footage of a Sasquatch - so I know it is exists.
Forgive me for getting on a little soapbox but I don't understand why those who do not believe in the effect of power cords are commenting in this thread and essentially ridiculing what the original poster honestly felt he heard. I totally appreciate the fact that some people do not believe in power cords. I do not think they are wrong, nor do I make it a point to poke fun at them when they choose to express their views. If you do not believe that power cords make a difference then wouldn't it be much easier to just avoid this thread and allow those who do believe in power cords to have a dialogue without having to endure verbal jabs for no other reason than the fact they believe in something some others do not? (que "Kumbaya").

Ok off my soapbox and flame suit on...have a great weekend.
Tboooe.........I think naysayers find it laughable that one could "charge a wire" or change the way AC will react simply by "pre-cooking" the path in which it is to flow. If there are people who have money to blow on neatly dressed conductive material, more power to 'em. I make my own cables in my lab & have compared them with cables selling for more than 50X what it costs me to make mine...........no measurable or audible differences. But those are just my findings..........obviously, others have reached different conclusions. To each their own........it's a hobby to have fun with.
I believe in power cords. I saw one the other day and some other people saw it too. I don't have any pictures though. I mean pictures of the power cord. I don't have any pictures of the people either. But, you can trust me, they both exist.
Do cables have a break in period? In other words do cables sound different before and after they have had a signal passed through them? Does cable burn-in accumulate over time?

If your answer is "no" then you reveal yourself as prejudiced to the point of not being able to hear what is so clearly audible to those of us who care to listen.

If your answer is "yes" then it stands to reason that an extreme signal such as the one recorded in Synergistic’s video could have an impact on the sound of a cable. That they open their doors to tours as was the case with Brutusab and that his findings should illicit ridicule from people who were not there or cannot hear what is plain to others (power cords, cable burn-in, etc) places their opinions in perspective.

I for one am delighted by my Tesla cables and am glad for companies who dare to innovate. Is it really so strange that power cords can improve a system or that cable burn-in could effect the sound of a cable? I’ve been improving the sound of my system with power cords for years and I’ve never heard a new cable that did not improve with use.

Flame suite and flame thrower at the ready.
