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?

@ OZZY= More ’’power’’ then the wall socket and the wall wiring can deliver? No. The power draw of all appliances is by its design. Not by the power cord. As (oldhvymec) said, brighter is not better.
That's not what he said. Goodness, the lengths some will go to.

I hope that the completeness makes it clear.

Wouldn't that make patent more, rather than less, vulnerable to copying without protection?
That was speculation on my part, not being well versed in such matters. The one you allude to would be Almarg, who is/was a patent attorney.

It's way over my head as well. It just so happens I read that pre review earlier in the day and thought it might be relevant, what with how the conversation was going sideways.

The proof would be in the listening so until then, it's all conjecture but interesting to read. I'm just waiting to read the full review once the reviewer had a chance to put it through it's paces.

"Somewhat over my head."
Lucky you. It is way over my head.

If someone connects electricity to that particular dielectric for whatever postulated reason, is there a heat production? Just the way the world seems to work, I think there will be some heat produced. If that is true, how does that affect molecules that we are trying to put in order? Wouldn’t they go into some unruly state?
Good questions. I went to the link provided at the end of the mini pre review mentioned earlier and came across this:
https://hificlub.co.kr/web2017/board/brd_wz_view_n20.asp?table=brd_10281&pid=16857&brdcat=210

I hope it came out in English. If not, go to the top of the page and select English as the language and it should work.

What follows is a long trial and error saga of what the designers went through and what they encountered. I’ve yet to really read it as I just skimmed it. My eyes are tired and I’ll commit to reading it tomorrow (doesn't mean I'll understand it).

All the best,
