How any "wall pluggers" are out there?

I should have used Preview first.

To clarify, a "wall plugger" would be the type of audiophile who likes to add nothing extraneous to his system-plugging straight into the wall, sans upgraded power cords, power conditioning and the like.An anti-tweaker.

Again, sorry for the poor initial post.

But irregardless of how the post was interpreted one thing jumps out at me crystal clear-the polarized climate that has evolved over the years in this hobby.

An audiophile today is either in one camp or the other.
My term "wall plugger" was not intended to cause a flame war or resentment.
But I can't help but note how much pent up anger seems to be on the rise in this hobby, a hobby that was, until the internet, a pretty solitary one.
'Wall plugger" is a lot less derogatory than some of the phrases that wall pluggers use to describe non wall pluggers.
Which brings me to another trait shared by most if not all wall pluggers.
They pretty much want to protect everyone from financial ruin. Anyone who buys an upscale power cord must surely be on the road to fiscal insolvency.Let's save him!, poor idiot.
Show him the error of his ways.Make him prove that there is some scientific reason why he would spend more than a few dollars on a power cord.

It never used to be this way.

WoW!
Great responses.
Yes I think wall pluggers are purists, the "meat and potatoes" kind of folks and probably are that way in all things in their life.

Maybe I should ask how many wall pluggers own Porsches or Rolex?

But throwing good money at this hobby in a hap hazard way isn't any good either.

Try before you buy, and if the shoe fits wear it and enjoy it if you can afford it.

I like Sufjan Stevens cd, Illinoise.
It's dense and can sound like a bowl of mush on a lot of systems.
But on some systems where the power going into the gear had been "tweaked", some of that wall of mush disappears and you start to more fully enjoy and appreciate all the layers of voice and instruments this fellow puts into a song.

Now nothing is wrong with wall plugging.
Never said there was.
In the beginning I was a wall plugger, most of the non-wallpluggers were too.
But at some point in time they experienced a system that just had more going on than what theirs did.

So it's very hard to go back to wall plugging after you hear what can be accomplished with some attention paid to the electrical signal.
The power cord to your amp is the first thing that your amp sees, and if it can filter out some of the muck that has accumlated( like the mississippi river does on it's journey)from miles of wire then it is doing you a favour.

Unfortunately a lot of the stuff that really works is pricey, and this limits the number who can afford to join in on the fun.

I am quite certain that if someone were to build a power cord, or power conditioner for tens of dollars and not tens of thousands of dollars that really worked well, most wall pluggers would become non wall pluggers and opt for the gains in sonics.

But it doesn't make sense to use a $4000.00 power cord on a
$1000.00 integrated.
It might make a sonic improvement that is noticeable or it may not.
The point is no one who has a $1000.00 integrated will buy that cord.
But if they at least try one, they may just have an ear opening experience.
Like the fellow who found that upgrading the receptacles on his power cords made an improvement.
He could have just stuck with the plastic molded ends and wall plugged it that way.
But he did notice a difference that he felt was better than stock and was willing to pay the cost of admission.

Much the same as most of the non-wall pluggers I have known.
We try, and don't buy if it doesn't improve the sound or if it is too expensive.
I would really like to audtion some of the exotic stuff eventhough I can't afford it now.
Just to give my ears a reference in case someone offering a cable for $40.00 sounds the same.
