good discussion on power cords

^^^ Well it seems like you're disagreeing with Charles Hanson who is actually a real designer ... sigh ... face palm ...

Your description of rectification and modulate makes me laugh so hard.  I suppose until you understand the difference between "rectification" and "modulation", there is not need to argue with you since it would be a waste of time.  

Why would I not agree with him if he makes a poor analogy? I don't idolize people who made interesting products but didn't contribute to moving the science or art forward.


You laughing at my description of modulation shows you had no clue what I was talking about. No worries people who understand this stuff will know exactly what I mean or will at least know enough to ask the right questions. The joke is on you. Understand frequency domain analysis makes designing power supply filters much easier and the results more successful. That's the difference between tinkering and engineering I guess.

^^^ OK, whatever, so you're a pretty good at copy and paste.  

I would have argued all day long that cables don’t make that much difference (all cables) until I tried an Audioquest power cable my local guy let me borrow for a few reasons. I was absolutely stunned. I would have never bet, nor at the time did I expect, such a dramatic change. And that was one of the lower end AQ cables. I’ve moved on to others now, but they 100% do make a difference. Baffles me, as current should be current (not) but there it is. 

Placebo effects...
