Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?

thyname674 posts04-23-2020 12:44pmLOL!! This must be the most preposterous (I am trying to be nice) post I have seen in years in this hobby. Voiding the warranty for using a power cord other than the stock power cord?? LOL!!

I was reading at Decware the owner made up his own cable, out of fear his customer kept buying bigger and bigger and, you get my point.  He was worried about damage from, to heavy, and to big. That was a few years back, he has a whole line of cables now. 

It is a sight to behold, a PC flip an amp off a table, because the cable is heavier than the amp.  It wasn't funny.  I'm glad it wasn't  me for once..
LOL hope he doesn't read this.. The LOL part.. LOL

Yes different PCs sound different, different ends, different size, different cladding, different, different, different. I've been tinkering, they do sound and perform different.. I'm finding "TO BIG" can just kill a components potential, and vice versa, can leave a hole lot of potential on the table, too.

Who is this millercarbon dude? Is he some sort of expert on all things concerning hi-fidelity? What are his credentials?

Same as yours. Credentials are a chimera. I mean that literally: a mythological, fire-breathing monster, commonly represented with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. I'm not big on credentials. I go by what a person is actually able to do, not by what some administrative bureaucratic sanctioning group of committees says they know. 

That said, here are my "credentials":

You could also read through my posts. Quite a few of them are in total agreement with this one of yours from back in December:

Static and electromagnetic energy degrade the end result(what comes out of your speakers).Every component is affected,cables,power cords,amps CD players,orDACS.The presence of or lack of this energy,is why your system sounds better some days,and not so good on others.

Not too shabby. Keep up the good work.

I am reasonably sure Charlie ( founder of Ayre and an engineer with ears ) is laughing in heaven tonight.....

I suspect you're right.  

I haven't looked at this thread recently.  I'm amazed by how it's grown.  Glad I didn't ask about something controversial like MQA.
