To All Cable Deniers, 1 Very Simple Question.


There are people coming into cable threads and saying all cables sound identical. So I have 1 question for y'all.

Today, it is about power cords.

The end-plug, the metal part, the one you plug into the wall outlet. Without knowing the % of copper in the plug of your basic cable, can you absolutely certain say it sounds identical to a plug with 98% copper?

How about 60% copper plug vs 98% copper? Identical?

40% copper, Identical?

20% copper, Identical?

0% copper, Identical?

To wrap up, the question is very simple. If the copper % is different, would the 2 plugs still sound the same?

A bonus question, if a plug is 60% gold, will it sound identical vs a 98% copper?

Usually in those cable free-for-alls, the more ignorant of science and less educated the posters are, the more strident and unmoored from reality they sound. On both sides.

 

@bigtwin   I assumed it is about cables in general, plug being just an example, since title says "To All Cable Deniers"

The OP implies that he can hear the difference between the copper content of the plug pins.  I would like to hear an outright statement about his findings.
