Power cord? Why?

Viggen:
That is exactly what I ment. The companies you mentioned should have warning label "PLEASE DO NOT BEND". It does not matter, their overall design/performance is so bad they have been the object of many jokes created by our independent evaluation groups.

Corona, can you please go into a lot more detail on that last one. What parameters does your group measure, what parameters does it think are relevant, how does it correlate them with sound or with other system parameters, and where does it publish it's results?

I am sort of surprised at the results that your evaluation group came up with since the constant casting process only considers and improves on the crystallization process that metals go through during its cooling process and not the amount of fractures it does or does not reduce. In fact, from the X-ray photos I've seen on some Asian websites that market CC, the metals actually already have numerous fractures in them. It is merely the minimalization of stray crystallizations that seems to benefit the sonic attributes of the metal in question since these stray crystals allegedly distort the signal transfer process. However, I am not EE so who knows.

Parameters:
When doing a cable A-B if one cable allows you to hear: The background insruments as obvious as the presentation in the foreground,the singer's voice is so well articulated every word is crystal clear,the quality of the instruments being used as well as the projected technique and skill of the virtuoso,ambient reflections do the size of the hall. Why stop there? One cable allows your transistor amp to run 12 degrees cooler while there is a 6db increase in volume measured at the speaker because its design does not generate loss. The people who have just experienced the demonstration could care less about "published results" they have just received a healthy dose of reality. Now I have a question for you. Do you think there experiences in life that are self evident?

all experiences can be broken down into apriori fragments or so kant would say. and, as descartes would say, apriori is self evident. Thus, would the essence of experience be lost if there is no self evidence?
