Are you as OCD as this audiophile?

What we have here is a group of ignorant, unqualified, and misinformed self-proclaimed engineers, experts, and authorities theorizing, speculating, and supposing on what they think should be the standard for code compliant devices when it is plainly evident, demonstrated, and revealed that they are all equally unqualified, misinformed, and ignorant but we are discussing AC power distribution so its not as though safety or personal protection should be of any priority, concern, or consequence, right? What the hell invent you're own protocols, designs, and specifications people like UL don't really know what they are doing these "experts" on Audiogon know everything!!  

"That’s a polarized device, but many common 15A receptacles aren’t polarized. They have the same width for both hot and neutral blades." AND- No ground. I’m trying to remember the last time I saw an audio component, that was manufactured without a grounding/polarized plug, since I owned my ST-70s and old Haflers. OR- a home built, since the 1960s, after they became CODE, without grounded/polarized outlets(and the attendant, wider neutral slot). To me(anyway), that’s, "common" and, "standard".

"I’m trying to remember the last time I saw an audio component, that was manufactured without a grounding/polarized plug,"

I am losing track of who saw what and when, but if it is of any value to anyone, I just checked my amplifier and CD player and both have uneven (polarized, I guess) plugs.

What happened in those three deleted posts?

@glupson- Hard telling, what happened to the other two posts.  I deleted one I started, as I wanted to watch the video, in which the neutral prong was mistakenly referred to as the, "hot".   I hadn't, and wanted to be certain I understood what was being discussed.    

Keep your suspicion at bay. I’m the OP and I have no connection to Mr OCD’s business or videos. I stumbled across him on YouTube and watched each of his videos. I wanted merely to share what I found with others. 

After all this and “meeting” him here on the forum, I’d love to meet him in person and will keep following the dude.
