Are you as OCD as this audiophile?

@cleeds,

Yes, I did watched the video and yes he misspoke about the neutral connection of the receptacle as live (hot).  Are you a pessimist (I hope not)? 

I am sure you know what OCD stands for? When I watched that video, I walked way wondering why didn’t anyone else thought about building a AC plug with uneven blade size to coincide with uneven slots on the receptacle so we get a firm grip and a full contact?

It would be easy to overlook if that was his only error. But his elaborate explanation for why the Furutech plug didn’t have the type of neutral blade he expected (that it was a money-saving decision, and not because that’s what code specifies on a 15A plug) shows he just doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Sorry.

Simple. Because the receptacle he’s looking at is a 20A device. If he puts the wider blade on an otherwise 15A plug, it wouldn’t fit a common standard 15A receptacle.

Yet, notwithstanding all this ignorance, he pronounces:

trust me there are truths that I could share that would put me smack dab at the industries top level.

“It would be easy to overlook if that was his only error“

Thank you Judge Judy 🤪

Are you talking about those two mikepowellaudio's posts above? The ones about some dinner in Korea and the other one about children and squirrels?

Are contacts inside the receptacles with different sizes different or it is the same with a bigger plastic hole? I thought that difference in hole sizes is to ensure it is placed in the right one, not to enhance the contact by its size. Is it both? Does anyone know that for sure, without resorting to a youtube video?
