Simple math really. (Note I am not saying highend cables are worth it). V=I/R. Bigger cable less resistance per DISTANCE. Fuse is very very short distance compared to the power cord. So the voltage drop cause by the fuse is going to be much less of a factor than the voltage drop caused by the power cord. Voltage drop is the biggest noticeable item people hear when the are power an unregulated amp (most highend amps). Volume always appears to sound better ;). -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44602 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
