It was fortunate to not have healed the scars before Thomas saw them.
That could have been a bit of a problem.
Power Cables and Wall Sockets
Without knowing for certain, it seems to me that power cables can only be as good as the in-home wiring coming to the wall socket. Is it possible that those who use expensive cables have improved the wiring to the socket? Or is the power from most wall sockets normally excellent, but is limited by conventional power cables?

If the lights are on the same circuit as the amp, then probably yes. They have volt meters that plug into a socket, just plug it in somewhere else see what the voltage goes to when the amps kick. |
We do not know that for sure… But if there is 30A on a 40A feed from the pole, and only 12A on a 15A breaker, it does not mean a fire is imminent. That is what people use breakers and fuses for. It just means that the voltage sags. |
The later is provable with a light meter, or other methods to show the lightning flickering. A lighting company could produce a graph of lumins versus time and produce a “strobe metric”.
So it is not exemplified perfectly.

^this^ and all the majority of the rest of the posts are spearing off with testimonials on power cords and power cables.
The OP (later in his thread_ revealed that it’s more about the wiring the wall, as that is next up on his list with the house work. |
@jea48 agree. So it is good to know whether it is normal, but rarer, voltage sag... or a situation such as you’ve pointed out. |
My earlier post referred to the house having, say, a 40A feed from the pole. So I would be checking the voltage on the audio circuit, and on a non audio circuit.
So your list is good IME, just IMO, it is missing the stuff outside of the audio only circuit. Points #1 and #3 sort of imply the parallel circuits that I mentioned… especially #3. But I am not 100% sure? |
