The spec say 120VAC +/- 3%@ 60Hz. We're talking about possible fluctuations of up to 7.2 V AC peak to peak.
How would a high end cable best this?
The crystaline structure of the cable will boost the lower voltage and lower the overvolt
Some years ago I saw a website of a guy with literally racks of car batteries as power source for his home theatre. I think something like 200.
It's still an UPS / battery backup. Sure it can be used for audio, but with terrible sound I would imagine. It's not designed for audiophile, otherwise everyone (people that have money) would use that. The thing is, AudioTruth isn't the only person stated this. There are a lot of other folks out there experienced downgrade in sound with the use of fancy (and expensive) UPS. Young man, take your sunglasses off.sure, cheapass ups put out dirty power, but a good one like a Tripp Lite smartOnline puts out pure sine wave. Cleaner than the power from the outside.

Again, explain the science. Otherwise you are just smoking weed.
Hey, as long as he lives in Washington State it's perfectly legal. On the down side, it might impair his ability to listen accurately. An audiophile of Cheez caliber would never jeopardize an eargasm.

Definitely go with stock cables. Right now I'm using White Night power cable from wall to power strip, and stock cables to studio monitors. I haven't felt the need to upgrade the stock cables yet, the White Night is that good.Patrick is currently working on a shorter and modified version of the White Night Powa with the outlet on the other end.
My current plan is to get one of these. Use the existing stock power cords that power my equipment (HTPC, TV, Focal speakers, subwoofer). I won't have any money left then. Patrick, what power cables should I get to power these items?? Would Wireworld Stratus 5 or Aurora 5 do? What would you do if you were me?
Thanks a tank,
cheez
Wow that's awesome. Well this is good cause no need to worry about buying the powerstrip and other aftermarket power cables... more money saving **.:thumbsup: This sounds like a very efficient and effective setup. Woohoooe wee weee nice!Definitely go with stock cables. Right now I'm using White Night power cable from wall to power strip, and stock cables to studio monitors.

Epic thread, I just can't get enough.
Back on topic, audiophile gurus, What do you guys use to keep your tympanic membrane in top physical shape? Yes diet is important but how about hear cleaning kits, wax removal systems, hearing test study kits and the likes?

In the 1950s, most knew cigarette smoking increased health. After all, advertising proved it. When 1964 science proved, beyond doubt, that cigarettes kill, a majority got angry at science. After all, hearsay proved cigarettes increased health. Science must be wrong.White Night uses 5 conductors for increased cleaning area.
i actually hope cheez and audiotruth are the same person, because i really hope there really aren't 2 people that stupid on this planet
The audiophile spends $2000 on a power cable, and gets years worth of eargasms, while the skeptic spends years writing about power cables not giving eargasms. This is bad logic.In the 1950s, most knew cigarette smoking increased health. After all, advertising proved it. When 1964 science proved, beyond doubt, that cigarettes kill, a majority got angry at science. After all, hearsay proved cigarettes increased health. Science must be wrong.
My father would love you. He loved manipulating the most naive with hearsay, advertising, and outright lies. His biggest complaint was the FTC. They took the fun out of it. FTC wanted advertising to tell the truth.
No matter how much your cables 'clean' that power, then the amp converts that power to much more 'dirty' voltages. Did they forget to mention that? Cleanest AC power is first converted even to high voltage sharp spikes. And then power is 'cleaned' by circuits far superior to anything you might put on a power cord.
Any 'cleaning' on a power cord is first completely undone to eventually make amp power 'cleaner'. Did advertising forget to mention that? Of course. The majority are so naive as to believe advertising and myths rather than basic science. Then spend $2000 on a power cord that is electrically equivalent to $3 power cords. Scams are that easy to promote.
Why did they not use that miracle power cord inside the amp? Because amp designers use science - not advertising myths.
If a power cord did any filtering, then you were posting dB numbers for various frequencies. No specification numbers? Then it is usually a scam.
Just like with cigarettes, I expect you will get angry rather than learn facts. Just remember why my father would have loved you. You make life fun.
Air and humidity makes a difference to the sound, but only subtle. The audio system sounds different in the summer and winter.Whoever is creating these "Cheez" and "AudioTruth" parody posts is a comedic genius. Keep it up!
I can't wait for one of them to find a way to replace the air around their stereo systems with 100% Nitrogen or something to reduce the potential impact of "foreign contaminants" to their precious Vinyl
For audiophiles, cables making a difference is as obvious as Earth being round. Skeptics who claimed that Earth was flat, are the same skeptics today who claim cables make no difference.
