Filtering

The bulk of the filtering is built in the low inductance/highly capacitive wire I have made up, but do use a little network in the IEC to tune the cords differently as respects frequency balance....If you have gotten past the two week suckout on the SLVR cords then I think you will agree that they don't make a mess of dynamics like most all line filters used with large amplifiers....I do think it is possible to build a line filter that will work with amps, but the tough part is breaking the things in as most all amps present a variable draw on the line so at low volumes, in class A, an amp might draw 300 watts and this might go to 800 or 1,000 watts at full tilt on a fast moving peak (I use big amps here too!) and it will sound different and normally less dynamic on the peaks....Sound familiar? So if one believes in state dependent break-in one would need to use 1,000 watts to break in the line filter for thirty days or have problems with dynamics....
