Before your system sees a note, it sees the power line.
Everything you hear comes from power. Whether it’s spinning a platter, driving an amp, or decoding digital bits, it all begins with energy from the wall. That makes the power cable the first active component in your chain.
A good power cable provides more than just current—it provides stable impedance, low noise, and proper grounding. A poor one can limit current delivery under load, or couple EMI into the chassis.
What you hear from a better power cable isn’t usually tonal. It’s often spatial.
Power isn’t just a utility. It’s part of the system. And how you connect it and treat it matters more than most people think.
