Mains Supply advice

[admin_exported]

I am considering upgrading the mains supply for my av system, was planning on the tacima 6 way block and have found some merlin tarantula and qed qonduit at a decent price ie: around 40pounds.

the question is not if they will effect the sound in general, as that may have been asked a million times, but is a case sensitive question of wheter or not my set up will benefit from changing to such mains. and which is best with my setup. and where should i start from AMP, PS3 or Sub

I use the system for both Music and Movies, any suggestions welcome

Bit of a generic answer but why not try them on each bit of equipment as see what you think it has the best impact on.

I
have read a few threads on this and some people recommend it for
different parts of their system. So I think it will be best for you to
decide......

In case this does not really help then go for the Amp......(just picked at random

)

(sorry for how that's turned out......grrrr - have to refresh to get it to post.)

Tarantula or qonduit, any experience with the 1910

Plug everything BUT the amp into your tacima, when upgrading power cords replace source first then display and finally amp

Firstly, I'd say if you're willing to pay around £40 for mains cables, then both the Clearer Audio Copper-line Alpha (£35) and Chord SuperScreen (can be had for £54 online) are highly recommended by WHF. I use both along with the Tacima CS929, and the results are beyond brilliant.

Like you, I have the Denon 1910, and plugging this with the SuperScreen into the Tacima made an instantly noticeable difference - it sounds clearer, punchier and far less cluttered. Both my Blu-ray and TV are connected via Alphas to the Tacima, and produce equally impressive results.

Best of all, cables such as the Alphas have a money-back guarantee, so grab yourself a few of these, and see if you notice/like the difference. If not, just send 'em back!

EDIT: I know many believe amps shouldn't be plugged into mains conditioners, but I've done a fair bit of testing in my system and I can't discern any deterioration in dynamics, or whatever its said the issues can be.

The problem is i live in malta and haven't found nor copper alpha nor, superscreen for that price range.

And that is my point the sound in music is a little cluttered, was worse when i had my speakers toed in, but after straightning them it went better, but thanks for confirming there is a difference in the upgrade.

You will not find any kind of power chords other than the cheapo kind in malta, so ebay/internet is the only source, if any advise from where to find any good chords online, pls just tell.
