Blind Power Cord Test & results

Dragon1952: This has nothing to do with "audio" or "snobbery". Cutting and pasting isn't a big deal, but if you want someone to look at something, the most logical thing to do is to make it easy for them to do so. Otherwise, it is kind of like saying "i've got evidence but you've got to go get it yourself if you're interested. This is where it's at, so go look at it and tell me what you think about it". Obviously, this isn't quite as simple as making it available on the spot, nor are you as likely to get as many to participate.

Other than that, i use my drop-down menu somewhat like a "favourites". By cutting and pasting, it gets full of crap that i'll probably never want to visit again. Given that i like to do things that way and a few others that i know do too, and providing a link is both easy to do and more convenient for the others viewing such a thread, why not take the extra 10 - 30 seconds and provide a link?

Other than that, you took the time to criticize my comments but you couldn't take the time to offer some input on the subject being discussed. What was your motive for posting such a comment to begin with and what did it accomplish? Sean

PS... What's lazier or more snobby: telling someone to fetch it for themselves and refusing to learn how to provide a link or someone that takes the time to provide a link for the convenience of others and at the same time, tries to show them how they can further their computer literacy skills? After resolving that puzzle, i think that you'll find that your original observation / comment is full of holes.

I believe my first post offered some input. And my motive was to chastise you for your anality :^

Sean, I think Dragonman was goofing wit cha. Though he probably didn't learn (or want to--hey that's cool) a thing about clip and paste, many other audiophools have. I was one. Still got a thin skin, there? The power is in ssshhhh. tacit..no response...and a bit sweeter in the beside manner department.......don't beat me up..you're a power; lose the self-righteous bravado....peace, warren

Normally I would mail this to you on the aside, but you're very clear that you want all correspondences on the forum. You said to me before that open discussion concerning yours' or my dirty laundry is good for all? That's a paraphrase, not a direct quote. Something like that? Sean, this ain't a biggie...

I think one of the easiest way to judge any upgrade (power cord, tube amp, or isolation device ... etc.) is to install it, listen to it, and then remove it.

I'm sure all upgrades will sound different going in, It's the ones that you can't live without, when you remove from your system, that are usually the keepers.

On the link thing ... if it wasn't for a good poke in the eye with a sharp stick from Sean awhile back, I wouldn't have learned how to do THIS. I think the advantage of using the mark up tags is you can check your link before posting.

I can't tell you the number of times I've cut and pasted a string only to get a 404 error or "no address found", because the poster flipped something in the address. It is very frustrating looking forward to gaining some new info, and coming away with nothing.

Choose your pleasure THIS or This ... http://www.audiogan.com ... try and cut and paste this link and see what happens.

If the difference is enough to be audible, why not stretch out the session and decide if it's worth investing in?.

Who cares what wins the A or B test. Does anyone listen that way?

If you do determine there are differences between a and b, the test is over. There is no "winner", the only fact is the listener can hear a difference between a and b.

At that point you are free to go and decide which you prefer, a or b.
