Power Cord Break In

@elizabeth 
perhaps it was a joke.  From first through ninth grade I was bullied because part of my last name rhymed with a dirty word.  The kids would sing song it on the school bus to and from school so I am a bit wary when someone attempts a joke at my expense.  Thanks for pointing it out.  The cord on the fridge really works.  An air conditioner is even better but it’s Winter.  All is forgiven now. 

@stereo5   I can empathize.  Distinctly personal scars like that are unfortunately resilient even over the span of many years.  One consequence is that we become hypersensitive to slights especially on places like Audiogon where it is very difficult to detect good natured humor from cutting sarcasm.

@Elizabeth  I like your idea of having punctuation marks to denote the author's humorous intent. 

/s  at the end of the comment denotes sarcasm on Reddit and many other places. 

Don't take anything said personally, it's that person's issue, not yours. I've burned in power cords using the adapter on my fridge for 25 years before I purchased my Audioharma Cable Cooker.

Actually, using a large appliance is a great idea. Sure beats wearing out tubes. I just got 2 new ZU event power cords and they are performing beautifully.
