Crazy4Blues, I'd have to agree with the_kid - guitarists are all over the map when it comes to this stuff. Since you play guitar, I am sure you have heard of Eric Johnson. He is known for going to extremes that would make even the tweakiest audiophiles blush - spending days trying to hear which battery sounds best in an effects pedal, etc... I have to admit I fell for the whole cryo'd string thing back in the early 90's.
Help Me Explain Power Cables to my Guitar Friends
Guys, I need some help!
I have suggested to some of my guitar geek buddies that they could improve the performance of their tube guitar amps by replacing the power cords. Now, I know that many here already believe in the qualities of upgraded power cords. But I can't convince my guitar buddies; they won't even try it because they say, "You need to show me some scope measuresments before I believe this 'snake oil' stuff about power cords."
Does anybody know of some way you can "measure" power cords that would "demonstrate" that they can improve performance? Help me out here!
