Review: Mad Scientist White Magic Interconnects


Allowing the full burn in to complete with my new AC power cord, then I'll remove the previous Mad Scientist's Black magic and install the new Mad Scientist White Magic Interconnects. Could there be an improvement? Not holding my breath. But I read about the new super secret material being used and read a crazy impressed review so, I had to know! Tomorrow I'm putting them in no matter what. Just want to be settled on what this new power cable has done before I move on. Curious? me too

@foggyus91 :

NOT trolling, sorry to burst your bubble.

Didn’t realize that stating an actual experience of mine - one that actually (somewhat) supports your position - is considered trolling just because it doesn’t blindly 100% support your assertions... no questions asked (or even implied).

1000 pardons, mien Fuhrer. I will now relentlessly flog myself and my entire family as a gesture of my unworthiness to even be commenting at all, my Fearless Leader and obvious superior...

 

 

@carlso63 SO sorry, did not know you were so thin skinned you would beat your family. I will be more sensitive to you delicate sensibilities in the future (this is sarcasm) as was my post. 

@devinplombier Not at all, his assertion was based on non factual information and assumptions as to why MS is not selling their PC in NZ, UK or EU. That was content of my post pointing out his false claims with the regulatory facts.  

@foggyus91 

his false claims with the regulatory facts

There's regulatory facts to do with wiring standards, and completely separately there's the operation of Consumer Law which is similar in Australia and New Zealand.

I make fair use of the Australian Consumer Law and just had a quick look at New Zealand's equivalent.

What is “acceptable quality”?

Acceptable quality means goods:

  • Do what they are made to do.
  • Are acceptable in appearance and finish.
  • Are free from minor defects.
  • Are safe and durable (i.e. last a reasonable amount of time).

It might come as a surprise, but the Australian Consumer Law is not normally fought between expensive lawyers through the Court System.  Instead, each state operates a Fair Trading department which can mediate in disputes.  If that does not work out, each state has a Tribunal which can make legally binding decisions.  No lawyers are required for a Tribunal appearance, and the cost is notional.

As an example, I had an expensive OLED TV which had a two year manufacturer's warranty.  After 6 years, it developed a vertical yellow line down the middle. Without even going to Fair Trading or the Tribunal, I was able to convince the manufacturer that a reasonable consumer would expect a TV that expensive to last more than 6 years.  In the end, I got the full purchase price back, bought the replacement model for about half the original cost and pocketed the change.

The Australian Consumer Law has provisions about deceptive and misleading conduct.

Often in a retail dispute, I find the words "well, actually, under the Australian Consumer Law you must ..." work wonders!

@richardbrand  Your post is very interesting and I wish we had similar in the USA, but we are the Land Of The Free and the Home Of The Lawyer!
