Especially when you figure the amount of wire, outlets, junction boxes, breakers, power meter and everything else between the transformer on the street and the power supplies in your amp and pre-amp. Your supply line is only as good as the weakest part or connection. I would suggest you take off the cover of your amp and look at the gauge of wire running from the power cord jack to the power supply itself. I'll bet it's not made out of $160 a foot wire and I doubt it's any better than the standard power cord. You could run super-cooled superconducting cable for the last 5 feet from the wall to your amp and not improve the entire power system. No offense to audio dealers, but I can only imagine what the profit margin is on that item. It's probably what keeps them in business or at least to be able to upgrade their personal systems (or buy Leica) : ) I love music and I listen to it constantly. My suggestion, use your head, not your ears. The mind can be swayed to believe mysterious things. Duane Birkey HCJB World Radio Quito Ecuador
