In Reply to: Are not "upgraded" power cords included or at minimum recommended by the companies performing the mod? posted by Robert C. Lang on April 22, 2007 at 23:04:40:
I recently tried a friend's 'Felicia' balanced power unit in my system front end, a Sony SCD777 VSE L5+, and was so pleased by the improvement that I am having one built for me. The improvement in terms of smoothness and lack of 'hash' was striking. My 777 sounded much more like vinyl than before and for me that is high praise. Whilst this is not the power-cord per-se, it is what feeds that cord. I am increasingly convinced that there is something quite complicated going on here - Allen's reasons make good sense and go some way to explaining why improved power supplies, by whatever means, make a difference. I too dismissed this as snake oil in the past, I'm no longer so sure.
