aliEnRIK:
Went to a blokes house yesterday who has a very expensive setup
he asked to borrow some mains leads to try
I never listened to his setup before fitting mine
Onto his HUGH REL subwoofer I fitted an Isotek Elite
After fitting the others he put a bass heavy track on. It sounded awful. Really BOOMy
I decided to swop to a russ andrews classic (Which has MORE guage wire in than the elite), calmed it down a treat (Though I still think his subs far too big for the room)
I could 'blind test' that all day if id wanted
So anyone any ideas how that works? Are we STILL claiming they cant possibly make any difference?
Excluding the miles of cable before the power socket, if you check the insides of the amp or CD player, does the wiring from the IEC plug to the power supply look like silver coated or cryogenically frozen cable? Or is it a standard thick cheap wire ?
If the latter - and it's of similar quality to that before the "special cable", then how can that 0.5-1m of special cable inbetween the bog standard cable make any difference whatsoever?
I don't think there will ever be an end to this debate. There are two types of people: those who can see/hear a difference, & those who can't. Just determine which category you fall into & decide for yourself if you want to spend that much extra on a mains cable.
I can't see/hear any difference.
