Quick power cord question:

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.

All the best

"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,

It is long(ish) and not that simple to follow. Maybe the part of it is because of translation.

One part caught my eye so maybe someone can clarify...

"Although it cannot be proved by numerical values ​​or formulas, BOP QF appears to play a role of’accelerating by giving kinetic energy’ to the flow of current flowing through the audio cable on a similar principle to this cyclotron accelerator. That is, 1) a DC cable wound in a solenoid coil method on an audio cable creates an external magnetic field and an electric field, and 2) a magnetic field is generated by Ampere’s right-hand screw (right hand) rule even in the audio cable itself, where an electric current flows......"

(The rest of the passage switches towards why it would sound in a certain way.)

If it cannot be proven, what makes it appear that way? I think they are describing their hypothesis, rather than showing how and why it appears. Am I misunderstanding/misreading it? It surely went over my head but not as much as some things earlier.

I think you’re right in that it appears to be a hypothesis bases on existing theories with no real way of measuring. The translation is the sticking point. The proof will end up being in the listening.

That, and I can almost commiserate with the extremes the testers went through with all the cable samples and hands on trial and error testing. 8 years is a long time to put something through its paces.

All the best,
