Is it all in my head??


So I bought a Kimber Power Kord...  yeah, yeah, but it looks prettier than stock, is well built, and having built all my cables myself I appreciated the craftsmanship.

...so, I'm playing an Everest LP--symphony stuff.. and it always sounded noisy and muffled (which is why i decided to give it a spin).  The power cable is plugged into my furman conditioner, and all the other cables are the same.  I swear this LP sounds more "untangled" now (that's the best way i can describe it).

I am an engineer and know intellectually this makes zero sense--is it some confirmation bias?  How can it be.. i didnt buy it expecting a sonic impact, i bought it because i couldn't make one that looks as cool (think of it as a necklace for my rig).  But I swear I think i hear a difference...  tell me it's all in my head.

Sitting here, looking over at the rig--that PK-10 just *looks* cool .. maybe I'll leave it at that :)


prof,
If you ever want to experiment a bit, try an audio grade outlet. Pangea makes a good one for $100, available from audio advisor. It was a great improvement in my system, for the money.

LOL, you’re kidding right? If he doesn’t believe a 5’ or 6’ audio grade aftermarket power cord can make a difference he sure the hell ain’t gonna believe the contacts of a receptacle will make a difference.

Who cares if he 'believes? This is not a Revival Meeting. If what he has is all he wants..No need to ply him with toys to up the ante!  
I think I am going to make my 'New Year's Resolution" to stop posting in cable threads.. LOL
True Elizabeth, but Walkerland is ground zero for elderly ignorance .When I was trapped there the Journal ran a piece on their first big poll back in "33 . Adolph got 29 % of vote in Berlin and 40% in MKE .Not that I believed it myself , 40 % was surely way low .
