Hi there. I'd like to get a beefy good power cable for my system. I am wondering should I buy just one to feed the power conditioner. Or buy more for after the conditioner to the components?

The cord to the power conditioner is not removable.Originally posted by BWLoverBrad -
OK, I take that back. Just looked in the manual, and apparently is is removable. Guess I haven't pulled mine out of the cabinet in a while...Originally posted by BlindamoodBradComment

Every cable is part of the system... if you can afford it replace them all and that way you can't think of one of them as being the "weak-link"

I was one of the people that never believed. I've upgraded just about every part of my system. One thing I have to say it over the typical stock cables... yes I've noticed a difference...and you don't have to go insanely expensive with them, but they can make a difference.
Now, i don't think it's going to be a night and day type of a difference. For me I noticed subtleties that I hadn't gotten before with things. Almost like a slight adjustement to a lens on a camera that (while the pictures were amazing before), add just a little extra clarity. That's what I experienced with my audio with the better cables. Also my sound stage opened up a little bit more (got a little better with the 3D depth to music that I didn't have before).
The biggest 3D depth change I got was from modifying my APC S20BLK power conditioner and battery backup. I soldered all the connections throughout it and for SOME reason my sound staged moved back. I have B&W speakers that are always known as forward and now my soundstage is pushed back to the plain of the speaker instead of being infront of the speakers. That's been my favorite thing I've done for my system. I've even had this confirmed by another on HTGuide here that really couldn't believe that change could do so much to improvement.
So you I think every change you make you have to justify if it's for the better or not. For Audio, we don't "improve" sound, we make everything come to a synergy that works best for our ears.Digital Audio makes me Happy.

Are you speaking just solely on power cables? Or all cables? Because I'm in the process of getting new interconnects and speaker cables.Bowers & Wilkins 683 Speakers

I think all cables can effect the sound for better or worse... It's really finding a synergy across everything.
For me, my system loves Silver interconnects and good copper on the power and speaker wires...but that isn't a golden rule for everyone's system...each person hears differently and likes different aspects of the overall sound range. So other's may like different kinds and even different types of each cable.Digital Audio makes me Happy.

Hey guys:
Would you mind providing opinions/advice related to power configurations in a stereo setup that includes a hell of a lot of expensive Classe equipment?

I just picked up RLC1040 this past weekend and got it all hooked up Saturday morning. I have 50" Pioneer plasma, Rotel RSX1057, Rotel RDV1050 and an old VCR. I'm not expecting any improvement in sound or PQ, but just looking for the peace of mind. Not that I've had any power issues but since... -
I looked at the specs on both the RLC1040/1080 and the pictures shows that the RLC1040 has conditioned in/outlet for either phone line or ethernet line. I'm more interested in the conditioning for the ethernet cable, but the specs state that only the RLC1080 has the ability to condition ethernet cables....23 November 2006, 21:45 Thursday -

Since I have had way to much time on my hands lately due to work being slow and finding myself at home more than I would like I decieded to do some tweaking and testing of my current system.
In that past few years I have bought and tried numerous high end cables,power... -
I receive 100amp service to my home. My power conditioner NEVER stays at a constant voltage. It varies between 122.1 - 124.4 The home was built in the 1950 with original service to home. (3 individual power cables coming from the pole to the home). It should read 120 correct?
