thepurpleblob Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 For those of you with more money than sense, you should rush out immediately and purchase...

ZMech Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 indeed it does sound like a nice example of huge BS. i guess it might make an effect if you have your own super smooth generator which it's directly plugged into, otherwise the normal copper wires that have brought the current all the way from the power station is probably the weak link.

bassbluestew Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) If you really cant wait, I've got one here I could sell you, but it'll cost you as its powersing my Scalestrix setup ( which makes my model cars sound just like Ferraris ) S Edited January 13, 2011 by bassbluestew Quote

EdwardHimself Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Lol. Actually I remember a guitar magazine said that some expensive power cable made their amps sound a bit "louder" and "livelier". That was about it really. Also that was talking about a power lead that was about £100. I very much doubt it makes much difference, especially since it's already had to travel a good few miles from the power station to where you live through the power company's cables.
