5@ivan_nosnibor I have no quantitative reason for what I hear and I only bought this cable because it looks cool and it would have cost me >50% of the price in parts to build it myself and i cant fabricate my own connectors. Also, I build most of my own cables from the same wire and it seems like the way I twist, braid or wind it impacts the sound (not always for the better, which contradicts my oxidation theory)...
Is it all in my head??
So I bought a Kimber Power Kord... yeah, yeah, but it looks prettier than stock, is well built, and having built all my cables myself I appreciated the craftsmanship.
...so, I'm playing an Everest LP--symphony stuff.. and it always sounded noisy and muffled (which is why i decided to give it a spin). The power cable is plugged into my furman conditioner, and all the other cables are the same. I swear this LP sounds more "untangled" now (that's the best way i can describe it).
I am an engineer and know intellectually this makes zero sense--is it some confirmation bias? How can it be.. i didnt buy it expecting a sonic impact, i bought it because i couldn't make one that looks as cool (think of it as a necklace for my rig). But I swear I think i hear a difference... tell me it's all in my head.
