Prepping my system for my Unreal Power 5M ($350k) Power Cable

Systems

I am going to edit this post for now.....

cheezy

OK,

I had to take this thing apart because there wasn't enough clearance to slide the PC in to the upper shelf in the wine storage cabinet. I had to place the motherboard and tray in the shelf first before I could plug in any peripherals.


Placed the foam underneath the motherboard mounting plate as shown. Placed the power supply on top of the cabinet and ran the molex connectors behind the cabinet so they can be connected to the PC.


Place one card at a time one by one brotha. This is video card.


Next, placed the sound card along with cool tweaks.




They look like different planets in space. Neat.


There you have it. PC inside the cabinet and power supply outside. Looks unique :surprised:


Take a closer look on the PSU there is foam placed underneath.



I hope Patrick approves this unique setup. And like I said, this is preparation for my soon-to-be-received Unreal Power 5M power cable. The cable will be connected from this power supply directly to da wall outlet.


Questions? Comments? Excited yet? I know I am.

How about a pic of your keyboard Cheezy?

Although it looks VERY similar to ours (Latin), there are additional "letters" on a Swedish keyboard, and in the Swedish language.
Amazing how their keyboards look similar (with the addition of a couple/few letters), yet their language is different than ours, and needs translation software.

I speak English, though it is not my 1st language.

Here is my keyboard. Does it look like a Swedish keyboard to you?




I am sure the moderators have access to track my IP and locate where I live. Just please don't say it on public forum. I need some privacy pls!

I'm telling ya!
Forum administration CAN see IP addresses, and the two have never been deleted on the same forum as a result of people thinking they were one in the same, as far as I can tell.

Patrick has been banned all over the net, Cheezy has not.

2 different people?

Yes! I told ya guys like a hundred times already.

Probably, in my mind at least, I am somewhat convinced they are not the same person, or they would have both been banned according to their location and IP address.:redface:

And you guessed right that Patrick and I are not the same person. Trust me. The moderators have tools to track IP's and find out where each of us live.

C'mon c'mon Unreal Power 5M. Cheez can't wait!!! Hurry HURRY...

Thanks. I sure will. Will take video of opening the package. Another one after installing the cable, along with pics. Then I will post my impression about the sound.


P.s. here is my tracking status so far:

7/9/2013 4:01 AM STOCKHOLM EMS The item has been dispatched from Posten´s international terminal for onward transport abroad

I think it's either airborne or just arrived the U.S. customs....

Perhaps. However, IMO the What Are You Listening To thread is even worse since there is a link to it on the Polk home page. That thread makes it seem like Polk is just for a bunch of geezers stuck in the past with Classic Rock. :biggrin:

Well, I for one wish you the best of luck Cheezy!

Hope the power cables work out for the best!

Ummmmm, since there are 7.2 million hyphens missing, no it does not look like a Swedish keyboard!:cheesygrin:

Thanks pepster The Unreal Power 5M cable isn't exactly intended for PC's and amps but will certainly have impact on sound anyway. I'm going to get me a Creative EMU-0404 USB DAC later down the road and connect the Unreal Power 5M to it. I was told by Patrick that will give best result, maximum performance out of them.

My camera takes good pictures. But terrible for video recording as you have seen my videos. No HD and no tuning settings

They aren't really far out of reach for many buyers. That's why I take advantage of introductory prices on these cables. The Unreal Power 5M however, is still expensive, the introductory price is $6000. The build time takes as twice as long as the White Night Power 5M, not to mention higher end materials.


Guys, good news. After relocating my PC and power supply the humming noise from the mid range driver of my right speaker has REDUCED DRASTICALLY! I wonder it's the relocation of the PC and foams placed under them? Or it might be the relocation of my RCA cable. I kept it away from stock power cables and molex connectors from PSU. Donno.... the good thing is that humming noise is almost gone from the right speaker.


My PC's video card was making a bit of fan noise and I was able to hear it easily. Now that the PC is tugged inside the cabinet I can't hear it... Now guess what? The power supply that's sitting on top of the cabinet is making fan noise. It's kind of annoying! :mad:

Systems

I LOL'd thinking about Patrick taking 6 months to build a power cable, and supposedly spending thousands on materials, yet had to post all over the net to ask everyone if it is possible for his power cable to blow up an amp.

Maybe invest in a quieter fan?
I believe there are some ultra quiet ones available, that are reasonably priced.

I was looking around the deli at a local grocery store the other day, and they had edible Play Doh (labeled as such), it was "Cream Cheeze Play Doh", I LOL'd!

How is the PC power cord going to affect sound when you have to worry about all the other RFI inside the case of your computer? Namely from your video card, cpu, ram, etc. All unshielded. Also your pc has no cover, making it non UL rated, no EMI/RFI shielding. I know you're just a troll but be a bit less ostentatious about it.

It will introduce less noise into the system to begin with if Patrick's power cable is connected to the PC's power supply. Yes RFI/EMI will still exist from the components themselves but it will be much less compared to stock power cables connected to the power supply as they do no noise cleaning. And it's not just cleaning noise but the sound will change with the cable altogether.

Also your pc has no cover, making it non UL rated, no EMI/RFI shielding. I know you're just a troll but be a bit less ostentatious about it.

It seems to work fine. I think my wine storage cabinet is acting as a shield or something. I don't seem to get loss in SQ. And the humming sound is reduced drastically.

I didn't even pay for it. I stole it from my Dad's house. I think he paid more than that though.

It really doesn't matter though. I won't be using the powerstrip for my audio gear (speakers and PC). As you can see my White Night Power 5M cable is connected directly from wall outlet to the left speaker. White Night Power 2M cable directly from wall outlet to the right speaker. The Unreal Power 5M cable will connect directly from wall outlet to PC's power supply! No powerstrip. I will use that to power external USB hard drive and USB hub so I can hook up cameras and such. Going through powerstrip alters the sound negatively (compressed sound). IIRC, it thins the bass and overall quality of the sound. Maximum performance going straight from wall to the components. That's how I was taught by Patrick.

Who says you have to buy everything else expensive? It's called a smart buy. Get something that benefits sound the most. Expensive / high-end power conditioner ruins the sound. Not good. You'll be better off with just a simple powerstrip.

Cause I like it. I think it's neat.

Good point. I have never tried it. I don't know. I'll ask Patrick about it to see what he thinks.

Hopefully I should get some surprise tomorrow morning when I check tracking info on web. It better be in my town by then...:mad: Otherwise my weekend will be ruined.

Ahh gotcha. A $5 surge potector is a good buy. So what is a multi thousand dollar power cable on a little computer considered? :rolleyes:

I mean for folks who must feel the need to have a powerstrip for their audio gear. I am one of the few out there that doesn't use powerstrip for audio. I know that a lot of audiophile guys that spend $50k~ 100k on systems spend big bucks on power conditioners too. It's really not giving them benefit in sound (actually hurting) other than protecting their hardware from power surge I suppose.

Why doesn't Patrick use his alien technology to make a power conditioner that works? Used with his power cords, that would be an awesome combination, and I am sure many would be happy to easily spend $500,000 to $1,000,000 for that. If he autographed them then they would be worth even more.

And all you are doing is proving how little you truly know about the properties of electricity. The above quote is a pretty good indicator that you aren't just drinking the Kool-Aid, but you have been mainlining it.

If you want actual knowledge on the subject, try reading some of the threads from Glen B and Darqueknight here. They have most likely forgotten more about electricity than Patrick will ever know.

A power conditioner can mean the difference between the top "clean" sine wave and the bottom
dirty" sine wave.
And I am pretty sure that your house is still using the $1.99 outlets that were put in the walls when the house/apartment was built along with what is most likely a 14/2 cabling in the walls on a 15 amp circuit shared with every other wall outlet in that room.

But how do we know that smoothing sine wave means good for sound? It may be (actually is) doing noise cleaning with the expensive power conditioners but it may be cleaning the wrong thing. According to Patrick those units cause music to sound veiled and compressed? Furthermore, the power conditioner creates its own electrical noise due to the power it generates. It generates noise and tries to clean it at the same time and cleaning the wrong thing. That's why the sound gets worse. I suspect many people who buy aftermarket cables and nice power conditioners but they don't seem to get great results. They blame the cables claiming that they don't make music better. Doesn't mean there's no change in sound, but a change for worse.

He has it. It's called White Night Power Distributor 2.5m. The price tag was $50k. And I bought it, but I never received it... waited for 3 months. Nothing... USPS lost my package.


I checked my shipping status and see no change so far. It still shows same location as I posted last time. :sad:

Just a thought here... is is possible that the reason Ken lets this crap play out is because Mr. Swauger and Mr. Cheesydoodle are one and the same? Not trying to stir the pot here but....

What you are saying is that a clean sine wave may veil or compress the sound.

No that's not what I meant. It maybe cleaning the noise on the wrong thing, not for music. Smooth sine wave will make the music silky but that is just one tiny aspect of the audio. And there is more to it than just sine wave that determines how the music sounds. This is very powerful mother nature and is more complex than the scientists / engineers think.

One of the analogies I could think of is that, scientists think 1 + 1 = 2 right? So you will get sound quality of 2. Well in analog side of the world the 2 could sound good or bad. There are different kinds of 2. What I'm saying is that there is a lot more going on beside 1 + 1. Almost everything is analog and there are some things that can't be explained with today's scientific equipment. This is why Patrick uses his ears to determine sound quality out of given hardware components.

What you are saying is a dirty sine wave will "improve" the quality of music.

No that's not what I said. Please read my comment above.

That's like saying a ground loop hum is beneficial to sound.

I didn't say that either. I think you are jumping to conclusion a little too fast.

Cheezy, what brand of toilet paper does Patrick recommend you use? Does it clean better than say, Charmin Ultra? Just curious because I'm looking to upgrade mine and he seems to be a very intelligent and straight shooting type of person.

Try Scotch brand industrial strength 50grit sandpaper. It's highly effective and you only need one sheet. Be sure to use only pure isopropyl rubbing alcohol to finish the job for best results.
