Quick power cord question:

With a  DIY power cord that I just made, (pure, solid .9999 12 gauge silver) the tubes in that mono amp seem to be a little brighter than the other amp with the original power cord. So, do you think the tubes are brighter because they are getting more power through the new DIY cord or is the amp having to work harder and that’s why the tubes are brighter?

Who’s, "connecting a battery to insulation material (dielectric)"?    No one, to my knowledge.    As I said: ignorance!

What does it say about someone who needs a separate post for each and every sentence, all ending in exclamation points?

Connect a battery's plus and minus terminals to ANY insulator (dielectric). Take a volt meter and measure the voltage across the insulator (dielectric). NO voltage passed! And you expect me to believe that the so-called "polarity" of the insulator (dielectric) is "altered"! That's an F in a college materials science course!

The same applies to the idea that wire is directional and needs to be "broken-in" by use! Flat Earth science!

And you expect me to believe that your $300 DIY power cord sounds different ("better") than my $90 Pangea (yes, I bought one to try out) - let alone a $6 Home Depot AC cord?
