am not sure if i will post this...but what the heck...
last saterday i got my 2 new powercables in with very surprising results until now, that even my personal placebo effect couldnt predict. its on a certain point not what i expected for sure...but i mailed the builder about that and he replied its all about burn-in..and in my case it will take a while as i dont have a power amp to ull enough current through it....oh well
but what i did find out is this...i now have 4 pairs of powercords at home now..and yesterday i was trying them out..to see what the heck was different with the new cables:
1 pair is standard powercable u can buy everywhere (for a 1000W PC powersupply)
1 pair is a premium no name pair of 14AWG (with neutrik connectors) provided with my PAG
1 pair is my custommade Aura hifi higher end cables of 14AWG with very expensive connectors (BALS on one side and Avionics 24k gold plated on the other, very heavy and huge) on both sides
1 pair is the ones i just received 10AWG, the connectors look like basic neutrik connectors.
and i can tell u that my amp sounded different on all the cables used...the difference between the worst and the best is not even on detail level...u can really hear differences very easily, allthough the new cable is hugely lacking in bass (but very tight and fast!) its still best sounding..
and no..its no placebo...as i expected the new cable to be better on everything!! right from the start...if the placebo effct would kick in i would be completely wowed now...and i am ..well not really...just partly...as i said..i just expected the bass to be at least on same level as my also very good Aura cables...
so...u can take it as u wish...placebo or not...to my ears i now found out (by comparing the 4 pairs) that every cable has some impact (some more then others) on my rig..some for better or for worse.....ofcourse my rig needs LOTS of juice to work, as its no portable amp...could that be the reason, that the huge AWG of the new cable makes it sound a bit more free with more fun? cant wait to have it burn in...he said at least 200hrs,,ouch..thats a long time, as i dont really like the bass light signature until now...
soooo here u have it guys...cables do make a difference..no matter what u say or think... probably if u connect better cables to ur lower end 1w amp it wont matter if u upgrade or not, but a current hungry amp could improve...mine did..except on bass..but i explained that...
if anyone is indeed interested in a more detail difference between the cables...pls pm me...i have it written down in an very short easy to read txt...
