NO. They do not make a difference. Cables or powercords do not need a "burn-in" period. This is a scam. Avoid it and save your money for things that matter such as equipment or speakers. E. Ramsey AAS industrial electronics |

Eric..are you saying that all power cables do not make a difference or that the burn-in is a scam? |

This thread is ancient Uback where have ya been???! I think that lowering the impedence(very marginally) in an AC circuit certainly won't be harmful and could be beneficial but I don't think it will make an audible difference in nearly all but the highest end systems out there,and even then the difference will be very subtle at best, As far as burn in goes let's not get started, these arguments grow weary these days,believe what you want, I do suggest however, that you a little research yourself and you will find that science is able to prove that burn-in as well as many other "mysticisms" about cables are unfounded. Buy well shielded cables to prevent interference, that's what you need to be concerned with in a cable. |

okay. can you recommend a good bang for the buck power cable to upgrade to?
Yes, I just saw that there was a "power conditioning" section in the forum and because I am in the market for cables, it's the first place I came.
Please help! :-) |

Real, honest to goodness DOUBLE BLIND testing is the way to evaluate this stuff.
No amount of science will ever convince most of the people who think they have THE golden ear, that at least for speaker and power cables of good fundamental design and execution, there are nearly NO measureable differences that you can hear.
I repeat:: DOUBLE BLIND TESTING :: |
