Interconnects and non-believers

Lizzie, when you get serious about a power cord get the Audioquest Hurricane. There is no substitute. Thank me later.

elizabeth,

My view on cables isn’t a settled one, but I have hunches and inferences I’ve drawn from my own meagre tests and experience, and from following the cable debate for many years.

In the spirit of exchanging anecdotes: I only use the regular supplied AC cables with all my gear.

Yet somehow when I listen to systems in which every AC cord has been replaced with expensive upmarket cords, and there are power regenerators and all the things claimed to make revelatory differences....I come back home and hear on my system pretty much all the glorious things I heard on the super-expensive-ac-cable systems. In fact, I tend to think more highly of the sound I have at home.

I guess my ears are made of cloth :-)

Correcto mundo. 😀

That's really not saying anything because there are so many variables. Why not try an "upmarket cord" in your own system?

I make my own power cords and am very happy with the results.
But I do have access to some pretty nice cable from work.....
