Let's talk power cords

Geoff when will you ever stop peddling this nonsense and waste our time?

This is a forum for discussing things related to audio and music, so I think Geoff's comments belong here - whether you approve of them or not.

When you say Geoff is wasting "our time," please tell us on whose behalf you are speaking, other than yourself.

The only thing I’m peddling is my bicycle. 🚴‍♂️

So I disconnected all of my power cords and replaced them with the stock cords. I didn’t tell my wife what I did, but asked her to listen to a couple of her favorite songs. Her reaction, what happened to the bass, his voice sounds dead, it doesn’t sound good, what did you do? Hearing improvements makes one a believer. Honestly, it’s so simple...if you don’t believe power cords make a difference through listening, don’t buy them and be happy!. If you hear a difference than buy them and be happy!

@cleeds ,
The statement he was contesting was that directionality makes a difference on a power cord. It was in this case the voice of reason; if you think about it, if a cord is working with AC power, directionality would cause the cable to heat up and fail or cause a fire. Clearly this isn't happening and on a large scale- the idea of directionality is nonsense, and is a topic that should not be discussed beyond debunking it.

Its unfortunate that Geoff continues with this as essentially his comments are trolling.

Now if you engage in the idea of a directional power cord, then you are wasting your time, unless the entertainment value of doing so is valuable to you. Certainly it won't make any difference in how your stereo sounds!
