Post Subject: Some thoughts about dedicated lines.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 12/20/2011

This subject is interesting but unfortunately there are more options then time in life to experiment with all of them. The idea to use fatter cable is right atop of surface. It is not about current caring but the lower impedance of the cable. Remember in US the ground and neutral are connected ether at panel or at transformer on the poll, the lower resistance of the wire between load and the ground/neutral bridge the lower voltage between ground and neutral will be (let pretend that there is no linkage in load)

The twisting wire is fine to get rid the antenna even but to use the armed cable even better. There are some metal flexible pipes, but the best would be to run steel pipe. For a cable of 4 ga for instance it will be big ass pipe.

It might be a good idea to cryogenically treat the dedicated ran.

If it was completely up to me then I would have extra 20-30 feet cable running in coil in some kind of bucket and I would like to fill the basket with different liquids, like I did with phono cables (aka POD cables). If you hear from my that the best sound I got when I run my power line through a bucket with 21 year old Johnnie Walker then be my guest to feel that I turned crazy.

The most interesting thing is that my dedicated line will be feeding not my playback but PP3000 unit. Will the PP3000 be the buffer that will render all experiments with dedicated lime irrelevant? Very possible but I it is hard to say as the freaking PurePower people still did not make the bypass switch. I did ask the JPS Lab if use of regenerator before the load still would dement to use his better cable in dedicated line. The guy went to assuring me that the use of the regenerator is irrelevant and the bester cable and better power cords are still the most important things in playback. Well, I did not argue but for myself I noted that the pure guy has no idea what he is saying and that PP3000 in my estimation deliver more prominent result then any cable he ever heard.

I do feel that different options in dedicated line still might be effective but I have absolutely no idea how to estimate this effectiveness. The most disturbing thing is that now my dirty utility line sounds better then my dedicated line. I very much afraid that it might be possible that the PurePower regenerators in fact need to be plagued in dirty and high impedance lines. There is login in it: the switching PS insert a lot of dirt back to power line and the dirt need to have come contra-load from grid, Think as it is a transmission line – if the power line is clean and low impedance then the noise from regenerator reflect back. However, if the line has a lot of own harmonic noise and high impedance then it randomize the reflection of noise and greatly attenuate the transmission line termination back-wave. This is inspiration that backed by nothing and who knows? I did in my old place sometime note that dirty utility line had better sound (after PP2000) then my dedicated line.

Well, I hope tomorrow evening I will have some answers….
