A smidge adrift, OT maybe, as in, SB rather than TP. Tinkering around at the weekend, I put an IEC socket on my linear psu, making it easy to try different mains leads, when ever I get round to doing so.
So, the 1.5mm stranded 3 core flex soldered directly into my linear psu is no more, and a 2.5mm solid core 'damped' mains lead has taken its place. The difference was small, but especially noticable when no instruments are playing, gap in the tune, between tracks etc, don't know how but the gaps in the music seem absolutly silent now......??? May well try another design of lead, just to see if that has any different effect. A while ago I found that changing leads on my power amp made a small difference compared to changing the lead on the pre amp/processor. Therefore coming to the conclusion that the psu in the power amp does a far better job of utilizing the power it gets, than the psu in the pre amp/processor. IME power leads can make a difference but you need to try them before buying them, seeing if you hear a difference, and if you like that difference.
