Hello all, first time starting a thread here.
I have what I consider a nice system, that I continually upgrade as funds allow; I own a VTA ST-120 amp with the cap upgrades and stepped attenuator, running upgraded NOS rectifiers and driver tubes.
About 6 months ago, I started buying/building upgraded power cords for all of my signal components and SS amplifier to really good success. So my question here is: "Has anyone upgraded the power cable on the Tubes4hifi amplifiers from the lamp cord?" After seeing very tangible results on all of my other components, I can't imaging that an improved power cord would not be beneficial on the tube amplifier as well. Questions I have:
(1) Is there a need to upgrade the power cable?
(2) If anyone has upgraded the cable, what did you use?
(3) Recommendations or suggestions on how to go about it? My assumption (correct or incorrect" is to just upgrade to a better cable, and wire the two wires exactly like the cable I would replace.
Please no cable deniers, I've done enough personal research on my system to know that better cables do provide SQ improvements, cable "burn in" is a real thing, and that everything from the factory has a cost per improvement component. Thank you in advance.
