In Reply to: RE: DC Cable Comparisons posted by CG on October 14, 2020 at 07:44:22
Jon L is actually quite experienced at tweaking, including parts upgrades, not just cabling. Every bit of wire and cables in a system contribute towards the sonic signature of a custom tuned audiophile system. Experiments with many DIY DC umbilical build projects over the years has shown substantial differences in sound, not unlike the effect of a power cord upgrade with particular AC connectors. A good sounding DC umbilical should be considered like choosing excellent internal wiring for an audio component. Different types of cabling, gauges, and connectors tend to make a great impact on the sound, in one way or another for a particular application.

To Jon L: I hope you understood that I was not impugning or otherwise questioning your experimental or observational skills. That certainly was not my intent. I was just offering a different perspective of something else you could investigate in the spirit of trying to assist. Clearly, when the cabling on a DC connection is making that much of a difference, it means that there are AC currents (AC being the 60 Hz variety, noise currents, or even signal currents) going where you don't want them to. The right cable can certainly help with regard to some of these, but not all. Good luck with your experiments.To Duster: I realize that I should've known better than to offer any help. Thanks for the reminder.
To Jon R: No need to show me the door...

What you posted didn't seem off-putting to me at all.
It got me thinking about AC currents again. I already regenerate my AC and also use DIY AC grounding station, but yeah, there's only so much an individual can do about household power..
I don't know why you took it that way. I was contributing to the thread. Perhaps you sensed disagreement that AC currents going where you don't want them to has to do with the benefit of, or the different flavors due to various DC umbilicals. I'm sure Jon L will be glad to respond. Sorry for the misunderstanding, CG.
