Hi.

Tell me what type of power cables are used for this installation. I bet you you'll find much better sound if you choose oxygen-free high conductivity copper conductors instead of those cheapie Romax (most using recylced copper) from Home Depot.

What you now hear is NOT nuts. This is for real, with scientific explanation.

Surely I spent much much less than a grand to get it done soncially right with OFHC pure copper conductors - I DIYed it.

PS: dont skip the powerline filters.

Nema codes spec copper wire to be 99% pure for AC home use. That is pretty pure, reagent grade for most chemistry lab work. Of course, recent events show that there is little testing being done, so who can say for sure if the Chinese made wire meets such specs 8^(...

I try to locate the older TX coded wire. It is an dead soft, annealed wire and has about 4% better conductivity. It is not really stocked by most distributors today as the dead soft wire makes it difficult to push down a conduit.

PS detractors will ask if you did a double blind test......
What was your source for the the OFHC copper wires? (n.t.). - LarBo 10:34:48 06/15/07 (1)

  Hi.
  
  Since dedicated powerlines are usually installed outside the wall inside the premise, we don't need to stick with any Romax or the like house wires that every electrical contractor always use per the electrical code.
  
  You can go for Belden high conductivity audio cables, e.g. 8744 #12 2-wire, rated with a UL/CSA 600V rated, which can handle 25A.
