good discussion on power cords

Right, the power cord doesn’t transmit the “audio signal,” the audio waveform as it were. But neither do ANY cables or wires in the system transmit the “audio signal.”  😬

I get it, the power cord is part of the power supply. Makes sense. 😀

Only robberrttddidd knows what he’s talking about. Isn’t that the telltale sign of psychosis? 🤪

Music soothes the savage breast. There should be no emotion when listening, other than a certain amount of enjoyment I suppose, I don’t really think of that as emotion, or admiration either, but mostly try listening with a quiet analytical mind, unencumbered by emotion. Try to empty your mind of thought when listening, I know for some of you that will not be very difficult. 😳 Tune into the performance.

Geoff: .... "is what they wrote on the bathroom walls".... You saw that while listing your name and number, big boy??😄

>>>No, I saw that while listing your name and number, goofball. “For a good time call arachnidism” 

Somebody needs to eat more fish 🐟 🐠🐟 “Complex“ is what they wrote on the bathroom walls at NASA. 😀

+1 Excellent point. Human memory in including audio memory is long-lasting. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to remember the words to songs or the music or the dialog from movies. You might even say human beings are the sum total of their memories. Knowledge can be defined as what’s left over after you subtract out everything you forgot from school. 

Confucius say for success in school or any enterprise in life man must live like monk.

Hasn’t this subject been covered sufficiently over the past 25 years or so, you know, from Silclear to Quicksilver to Quicksilver Gold to the newer contact enhancers with Graphene? I mean, come on, people, let’s do some due diligence! I’d be rather curious how big your electrician’s eyes get 👁 👁 when you tell him what audiophiles have been doing to electrical contacts for the past 25 years.

The choice of materials and production technique make a difference, no matter what the category or industry. Is a $600 Accurate fishing reel a better performer than a Zebco $89 fishing reel? Absolutely! I could not have landed that 150 lb. bluefin tuna with the Zebco. This also applies to inter connects, speaker cables, and power cables in the audio industry. As with everything, there are diminishing returns as you move up the scale in price.
