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…Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
