Well, the power supply on both my Musical Fidelity and VAC Avatar are among the most well designed, most regulated I've seen in over 20 years of experience with hifi gear, and yet all of the exotic AC cables I've tried made a significant, audible difference. The audio sections are beyond reproach, with some of the best measured performance (for those who follow measurements instead of their ears) and sound available at their price levels. I don't think the aim of exotic power cords is to correct deficiencies in the the power supply; rather, the aim is to correct errors and anomolies in the AC circuits of the house. I also don't think that an exotic power cord will have significant effect on lesser-designed gear or typical AV home theater gear, no more than a cold intake air filter would have a significant effect on a Buick LeSabre. -- davehg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davehg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2269 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19818 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
