When reading about "add on" things that improve SQ so dramatically I always wonder why even high end equipment manufacturers make their kit so badly that such things are needed?
If aftermarket power cables make such a difference why weren't the standard ones made to the same quality?
If cables need grounding, or whatever, why don't the equipment or cable manufacturers tell you this?
If cabinets pick up resonance why aren't they made more rigid and with decent feet on them
People pay tens of thousands of amps, DACs, CDPs etc yet they're supplied with substandard power leads, aren't earthed properly have rattly cabinets and wobbly feet, meaning that the poor sucker that bought them has to spend more money to get them sounding their best.
Imagine spending £400k on a Rolls Phantom then having to spend another £50k on new shocks, springs, tyres and extra sound proofing to make it ride properly and more refined inside?
It's a disgrace
