"OMG - so you really believe with all that money spent on the highest end gear that you can’t even get a reliable power supply that filters out all mains noise - and therefore a band aid power cord is necessary."
Most likely there’s a Strawman argument in there somewhere. I’m not saying that at all. Do you know what the word sarcastic means? 😀
"If you are correct then most SOTA boutique audio really is pathetic in terms of performance."
Correct about what? Power supplies in high end electronics? I was joking. Wasn’t it obvious?
"Glad I got rid of the gear that did that for me, as I don’t accept poor quality power supply design and I prefer to avoid band aids."
Who told you to buy crappy gear? Calling power cords "band aids" doesn’t change the fact that replacing stock power cords in high end well-designed electronics with better power cords usually improves the sound. That’s equivalent to saying aftermarket fuses are band aids. Hel-loo! It’s also why almost all high end cables are cryogenically treated. Necessity is the Mother of Invention. It’s not really a band aid, it’s just improving the physics and or electronics. I'm not saying it's pig headed to think its all about circuit design and power supply design but it's sure near sighted.
