The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance

To most of your points,


I often wondered why most power cord/cable companies out there don't put there money where their mouth is?

Most all of us cant walk up to a showroom with your amp or components and audition cables the way you can with speakers amps etc. So whats the next best thing? I found 1 yes only 1 so far that puts his money where his mouth in and backs now with a 60 day money back customer satisfaction guarantee!  NRG Custom Cables  is one of the 27 Audiophile power cord company Jay Luong reviewed.

• Price: $328 USD including worldwide shipping
• Conductor: 4N OFC, 4.5 AWG hot & neutral, 7.5 AWG ground
• Dielectric: Teflon
• Shielding: Grounded copper sleeve/shield

NRG Custom Cables’s motto is: “Design by Math & Science – Not by Marketing.” Interesting.

I loved the idea so much I personally am going to try them on 3 different amps and A Shunyata Denali 6000T power conditioner as well as direct to the wall!

The amps are all different amp 1. is Class A/B Amp. 2. Is Class A/B//Tube Hybrid and Amp. 3. Will be all Tubes!

The test might be after thanksgiving as I will be traveling but I thing it will be worth it.

Love it when a manufacture believes in his product so much they Guarantee it or your money back!

Cheers

Talk is cheap. I design power cords. Who wants to finally get off your ass and double blind shootout ?. Lets get to the bottom of this lame ass argument that has been going on since the beginning of time. If your cable beats mine, it ,means power cords work and Ive done the industry a huge favor. We can end the conversation and move on to speaker cables, and interconnects until the whole talk is over as far as cables go.
Anyone can join the party, does not have to be other designers, you can rep your favorite designer if you like. So we can find out which cable is best I guess ...yippee,,, it will be expensive im sure. That does not matter to the marketplace as much as whose is best for the least amount of money ? I’ll bet I win this Title and if a $300 cable beats mine, then we will vote for whose cable looks the most unique and innovatiove regardless of anything else.. I got a solid foot in on that one. .. My 5 foot cord is $800. I will start here, the same thing in pure solid 5N silver within my line is $1500. If we really want to get down, Im sure I can cheapify my cable and maintain performance. Both are bargain by Audiopohile standards. No audio show shootouts as the acoustics are crappy at best. I’ll do this at my house in Atlanta GA. If nobody wants to blind test, I’ll do it with local audiophile buddies and record it with high grade microphones and post it to youtube. Its time for all us to pull up our dang panties and put this to rest by the REAL way, blind testing, I could care less if I win or not, I just dont want this damn drivel all the time around my sacred place, the HiFi Hobby. dont any of you feel like you are taking part in a whiny pissant discussion when your job is to be listening to music, discovering wonderful new styles and albums by sharing with one another your findings, and paying homage to the reason this website even exists ??? Its MUSIC ! Remember that one thing ??.. You all are off in the weeds wasting precious time and not listening to music and enjoying all the cool things it can do for us .... Wake up Audiophiles, this is MUSIC calling...

You can never record and make any analysis with microphones or YouTube. Has to be live. I am in Atlanta regularly. Count me in! 

@mikepowellaudio: Interesting marketing technique. However if you are a professional, I’d opine that you need to tone it down a bit. You really think forum members from around the world are going to stop their lives and come to your home in Atlanta just because you are hosting a test?

I get it, you know we won’t, can’t, don’t want to or just have no interest. Here’s an idea...raise your price ten times. There are forum members here who will buy for no other reason than an accessory is outlandishly expensive.
