| Any opinions on new type of amps from BMC, Hegel, I own the BMC M1 amps, DAC1 PRE, and MCCI phono. I have used the amps with other preamps, run the system with single ended cables, and used the BMC gear without the Current Injection, which allows the amp to vary in output with what is required.I ... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Rwwear, that is because it is a fraud. How many have tried to get the million? | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Another reason many manufacturers don't include power cords is that they don't want to irritate many power cord manufacturers while pleasing only one. Also many audiophiles might be irritated that they had to buy a pc that they didn't like.Mainly,... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Zaikesman, it is a big "if" Paperw8 were to come to your house and listen. I always wonder why any of the Scam police ever buy anything new. | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Paperw8, I appreciate the civility of your post. These are my responses to each:1) intellectual interest: I guess this debate has been going on for years and has no resolution. Listen or accept EE laws which suggest little difference.2) personal i... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Paperw8, why do you care? It is not your money nor your listening. It sounds like you are offended for others, why would that be? | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Rwwear, sorry! I have been in this conversation so many times that I over generalize. I don't believe many of the things that are written either and rather have to test them myself. We I am from the Show me state, Missouri. | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Rwwear, no one owes you proof. I doubt seriously if many audiophiles avoid trying different power cords because several people, imbued with the "laws of EE," claim they could make no difference. | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Rwwear, this is old nonsense. Most people ignored Randi's challenge, but one accepted it. Randi set such conditions that no one ever had a chance to take the challenge.Lissnr, ask yourself why Rwwear and Paperw8 bother to spend so much time and ef... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Chad, it was inevitable that you make this decision. Now you face the nearly countless alternatives. Few of us have heard more than a handful of what is available. Friends with good ears are your best recourse. Or if you have a true audiophile dea... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Paperw8, thank you for your opinion. | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Zaikesman, let us consider what might "qualify" someone as a reviewer. Would it be an EE degree, years of experience in audio, experience as a dealer in audio, knowing many manufacturers, being wealthy enough to not be bought to give a good review... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Dave, I write for StereoTimes. I did write for Dagogo and for SoundStage. Let's just say they didn't work out. I am the only Norm on StereoTimes list. | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Paperw8, science is to explain observations. People hear a difference, the question for science is why? I strongly suggest that the easy rules of EE fail to account for all that is important.But in audio reproduction the quest is realism. If a com... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Mrtennis, "if you compare the comments you can discern the affect of the amplifier change upon the stereo system, but you cannot describe the sound of either amplifier." There is no need to do so. There was a benefit of the second amp over the fir... |
