I can’t recall being so proud at being included in a list of names since junior year high school honor roll!

@brianlucey I was just going to let this thread die but I cannot. ""are you saying that the PhD in material science that's behind Shunyata is somehow just brainwashing people out of their money?"" YES.. I have an advanced degree in Nuclear Engineering--So What, you might be thinking but I have a scientific mind perspective. If you are saying that there is science to Shunyata's approach then why isn't it published? It would be crazy easy to do if it were true. I would be satisfied with a statistically relevant test proving that their cables possess magic--NONE out their either. You can say that their cables sound better, but that's just your opinion and we all have opinions. My opinion says they sound identical to a properly shielded $20 cable. PLEASE PROVE THAT I AM WRONG. Unfortunately, the science is not in your favor, other than the hog wash coming from the manufacturer. I posted a while back a little science experiment that proved to ME that Power Cables are snake oil--

 

This is an experiment that I conducted a while back::If you would like me to explain the results, I would be glad to. 

 

Spectral results--Each count was 12 hours. High resolution gamma spectroscopy using NIM’s. The NIST certified rate is 20.030 CPS for the Region of Interest (ROI). The region of interest is approximately 661.7 keV.

Results--As you can see, the filtered data is very close to the "True" count rate as per NIST certification. The filtration costs > $50,000 and cleans up the AC power before it powers the sensitive electronics. The crystal operates at - 200 degrees Celsius and is ultra sensitive to electronic noise.

Using a Nordost Power Cable made no statistically relevant difference as compared to a standard cable.

I am not sure what this means on the sonic front but if a Power Cable made NO difference on highly sensitive equipment, how could it make a difference on a CD transport.
