Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Longer cables or high-current components benefit from thicker conductors (e.g., 2.5mm² or 12AWG) to maintain low resistance and voltage stability.
Loading...
A power block is the simplest solution. It distributes mains power safely to multiple components, often with improved internal wiring and better mechanical stability than standard extension leads. A power conditioner goes further by filtering electrical noise and interference present on the mains supply. This can lower the noise floor and help systems sound cleaner and more controlled, especially in electrically noisy homes. A power regenerator actively rebuilds the incoming mains supply into a new, stable waveform before feeding your system. Regenerators are typically used in higher-resolution systems where maximum consistency, stability, and noise reduction are required.
Loading...
Standard power cables are designed to meet safety regulations at low cost, not to optimise audio performance. Upgraded power cables use higher-quality conductors, improved shielding, and better connectors to reduce interference and improve current delivery. In resolving systems, this can result in clearer detail, improved dynamics, and a more stable soundstage. While the effect varies by system, power cables often become more beneficial as the overall quality of the equipment increases.
Loading...
Dedicated power supplies or upgraded DC supplies are most commonly used with low-voltage digital equipment such as streamers, DACs, routers, and network switches. These components are particularly sensitive to electrical noise from standard switch-mode power supplies. Upgrading the DC supply can improve timing, clarity, and background quietness. These upgrades tend to be most effective once the core system is already well balanced and you are aiming for refinement rather than a dramatic tonal change.
Loading...
Clean mains power matters to both digital and analogue systems, but in different ways. Digital equipment can be affected by electrical noise that impacts timing, clarity, and perceived smoothness. Analogue equipment, especially turntables and phono stages, is sensitive to noise and interference that can mask low-level detail. Improving power quality can help systems sound more composed, quieter, and more consistent. The more revealing the system, the more noticeable the benefits of cleaner power tend to be.
Loading...
For most systems, speakers, headphones, and core electronics deliver the biggest initial improvements. Power upgrades are usually most rewarding once the system fundamentals are already strong. That said, if you are experiencing noise, hum, or inconsistency, addressing power can bring immediate benefits. Power upgrades work best as part of a wider system approach rather than as a standalone fix.
Loading...
All cables matter, and your system will require good quality cables for all of it's connections, however, if you were looking for the cable which will make the biggest difference, then we would recommend looking at the power cables from your wall socket, to your distribution block and/or amplifier. More often than not, we hear from customers, manufacturers, and our own tests that higher quality power cables can have a significant impact of the quality of your system.
Loading...
This depends on the components being powered and the levels of noise within your local mains connections. There is equipment available to measure the noise in your mains, however, one of the easiest ways is to try a power conditioner for your source components and hear if there is any difference during your listening. If there is minimal to no difference, then a good quality power block may be your best option.
