In Reply to: Is dedicated AC mains best tweak ? posted by tweakman on December 26, 2004 at 05:21:21:
see this review of the JPS Labs in wall conductor. If you care to be exotic, locate the linear center of the wire run and slide 3-4 Z-sleeves into position. This should damp the cable's 1st resonant mode. Tried a Z-sleeve ultra, the one with the red collar, over my Sony TV power cord. Both the picture and the sound cleaned up as if a strange smearing had been removed. Can only guess that all AC lines are like tuning forks of varying lengths, if it so happens that one stretch of wire is an integer fraction or an integer multiple of another section, say a 6 foot power cord and a 24 foot run from a subpanel you might get strong harmonics... this might explain why certain AC runs sound good and others don't, or a highly touted power cord sparkles in one system and isn't much to talk about in another one. I'm assuming that the "zero gauss" technology reduces or eliminates this tendency to ring.
