Much like the nervous system in the human body, mains cables, speaker cables, interconnect cables, and audio cables play a significant role in the performance of a Hi-Fi system. A common misconception is that cables enhance sound quality; in reality, high-performance cables are designed to facilitate the free flow of current, allowing musical information to pass through more efficiently while minimising interference and noise.

While selecting quality interconnects and speaker cables is important, one of the main sources of interference often comes from your mains feed. To illustrate this, consider the difference between a turbulent, muddy river after a storm and a clear, glacial spring. This analogy also applies to low- and high-quality mains and audio cables: the better you filter the sound (or the water), the greater the clarity.

Moreover, mains conditioners and grounding solutions are crucial for eliminating noise and stabilising your system’s power supply. They help ensure that the signal path remains pure, resulting in an optimal listening experience.
