Copper-line Alpha™ Power Cable with Fuse or not?

aliEnRIK:heathpw:
For the benefit of Pistol Pete who like to rubbish something he knows nothing about, My current main system now consists of PMC FB1+ which i bought new 3 years ago, an audiolab 8000P preamp, a QUAD 909 power amp which i bought this year , and Quad CDP2 which I bought this year. I also have a pair spendor prelude speaker which I bought new in 1988, a quad 306 which I bought from new at the same time, a quad 405-2, I then up upgraded my preludes to a pair of spendor SP2 and finally a pair of PMCFB1+.

Over the years i have tried quite a few so called expensive magic speaker cables, phono cable, digital cables none of which made any difference and have been proven not to introduce measurable distortion. I refer you to the Audioholics website for there test and measurments they have done on cables. I have also built a few power amps designed by Dougles Self and randy slone, bought and read there books on amplifier design, the kits can be bought from Signaltranfer LTd incidentaly, there products have excellent perfomance. So I happen to know a little about what i am talking about. The latest nonsense is Magic mains cables, plugs and fuses that affects hifi component performance.

So you can build amps but have struggle with simple spelling? So excellent that you now dont use them in your system?

I can build various components without manuals ~ whoopie doo to me. Now what?
Regardless. Building amps has zero relevance to this thread
If you believe its nonsense then please take up Ben Duncans tests with him. Im sure he'll explain it to you

If youve any proof his tests are faked im all ears though................

You correct Building amplifiers does not have a direct relevance to this thread, but basic electrical theory and pricinple does apply to cables. And i am an electrical engineer and have a very good understanding of these principles.

I can spell actually i just cant be bothered fixing all of my typos, I will look at these so called tests .

What is the link to Ben Duncans Test for mains cables

heathpw:Sorry i must have missed your answers, how do you think mains cables affect the performance of amplifier say

Yes you did miss it. Try reading as well as ranting.

Andrew Everard:
heathpw:what a selling point that would be. (Buy our cable and reduce your amplifier distortion by 0.005% for example.)

No manufacturer would make such a claim, as of course a cable can't change the distortion characteristics of an amplifier.

Be careful, I think your

heathpw:scientific and engineering Ignorance

is showing.

The best a cable can do is introduce less problems: the ideal cable would be no cable, so the best cable is the one that does the the least when introduced into a system.

Are you reffering to your reply above about less problems??.

Can you give me an example of the type of problem a cable might introduce into a system.

I never said i did not use the amplifiers I have built yes another incorrect assumption from you. I use some of the amplifiers I have built

for surround sound. And others in other rooms.

heathpw:Can you give me an example of the type of problem a cable might introduce into a system.

Cables may either pick up or radiate interference, and indeed some poorly designed, or poorly built, products may introduce noise which can be picked up by other components via radiation from the cables (or the cable acting as a receiving aerial), which can in some circumstances be detrimental to the sound.

However, as ever our advice to readers is to try a cable and see whether it makes a difference in their system, which is why several cable companies offer a money-back guarantee. If one hears an improvement, fine and good; if not, one can stick to the cheapest cable one can find, and be smug in one's thrift. But please try to resist the temptation to impose views one way or another on others, or belittle those whose views differ.

But I fear we are now way off the original question, to which the answer is still 'the fused one', and given that the OP has received the answer sought, and responded with thanks, I think this thread should now go the way of all pointless circular cable threads.
