You could be right Dave.
If you spend a couple of hours on the interweb , you will become confused about every thing hifi.
Read what the guy from blue jeans cables thinks about power cables .
Try audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/power-cables or
audioholics.com/eduction/cables/power-cables a good read if you have half an hour to spare, you my agree or you might not.
Any whey have ordered some ferrites, only cost the price of a couple of pints, so will give them a try and let you know.
It appears if your amps etc are built correctly you should not need fancy power cables etc as your equipment should filter all the rubbish out for you, but then what do I know.
I like the sound my system gives me, I could not tell you why, I don't know what a sound stage is or if the singer is to the left/right or in front or behind. I could not make a living reviewing HIFI products that's for sure., I can feel as song coming on.
Andrew his not sure if power cables make any difference, where Richard is certain they do, both know a lot more about what there equipment sounds like, than I do about mine, and can put it in to words yet on power cables they come from different ends of the spectrum..
So I think its down to the connection between those sticky out things on ether side of your head and your brain.
Cheers
Dave

Indeed that's true.

Interesting reading on that site, refreshingly bullsh*t free. Never tried any of their cables though... they are far too cheap Wink

Well tried the ferrites on the arm cables first, could not make out any difference, then the power cables again no difference.
Put them on to the speaker cables, my be a smidge better separation.
I will leave them on for 3 or 4 weeks and then take them off, and see if I can tell any difference as this appears the best way to do it, plus I have a bad leg, getting up from the floor gives me some right jipOuchOuch

         hope I am not teaching my grandmother how to suck eggs but do you realise you cant just put the ferrites on the cable at any position it has to be scientifically worked out for them to work at their best.
In fact Graham has written about this somewhere on the forum(but I will be damned if I can find it)

Stuart is right. This thread includes Graham explaining to me where to fit the ferrite on one of my mains cables and may help you.

If your right about it having to be scientifically worked out, well I am wasting my time.
Will still leave them on for 3 or 4 weeks any how, if no different, I will try them on the telly.
