Post Subject: The voodoo or not the voodoo.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/15/2019
I do not defend Amir’s observations and I also do not take his comments seriously. I have no idea what he is taking about ground loop, not sure that he has an idea BUT I do agree that separation of power cables from each other after the generator can make difference. I would not say how to do it properly and what is “better” but I did observe that powers cables layout does impact sound in all together well done and perfectly calibrated playback. My own playback now does not go to the level of “perfection” what I could care to recognized the difference but there was time when I did observe this influence. Amir claims that over 10cm between the cable does make some improvement, highly possible. It would greatly depend from what kind power cables he uses and how the PS supplies are made in the devises tat the power cable connected.  Can we call it voodoo? Hm, not necessary. The PP generates over20kH pulses that care 50Hz main voltage. Let pretend that 5 loads are driven by PP. So, we have 5 transmission lines running more or less parallel and the do not run in the cables but in the electro-magnetic field around the cables. I presume that electro-magnetic between those 5 transmission lines might be auditable. You do not need to have “stable musical memory” or electricity to be stable over the hours. All the you need to do is somebody to move your cables while you do critical listening. Sometimes if it not effective, sometimes it does but if might be effective then it stops to be voodoo. My liquid isolated cables have no bass unless they sit undisturbed for a few days. Is it voodoo? Yes, it is, bit it is commonly acknowledged by the manufacturer and by anybody who ever used PAD cables. Cables are freaky. Who the hell would believe that digital cables might have different sound but we all know they do…
