Power Cords and Ethernet Cables

Post by Eli7 »

I've had the opportunity to play with power cords and Ethernet cables over the last few months.
None of the Ethernet cables I tried convinced me, they were no better musically than my Blue Jeans Cat 6a.
It is similar with the power cords. However, there is a power cord, which surprises me. With these, everything literally clicks into place. The music suddenly makes a lot more sense. It's really amazing.
Until now, the original Linn power cord was the best fit. But now this.

The question I ask myself is:
Is this power cord really bette, or could it be that it just shows that the previous position of the speakers was not the best after all? My speakers have been in the same place for years and their position has been the best I could find.

What are your thoughts on this?

Incidentally, a very expensive Ethernet cable in conjunction with this power cord messes everything up again, the music disappears into the confusion again.

Is this secret power cord better? How would we know? We don’t know what it is!

You bring it as if you cannot believe it or afraid to go against the “Lejonklou” crowd.

Believe your ears and the experience

I myself play with all different cables since a year and I can truly and sincerely say that I never enjoyed my set more then I do now.
The blue jeans Ethernet is the only cable that survived.

Yes, a forum can only guide us. In the end we have to experiment and make up our own mind about what makes us happy. :-)
