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?

That battery you got, is for an Interconnect?
Between what it is connected? (the line and shield)?

I got just the opposite thought. I started thinking that geoffkait was, with all his shortcomings, keeping lunacy in check. Nowadays, everybody is geoffkait and then some.

ozzy,

"What does it have that my DIY does not?"

Maybe better/nicer finish? Just guessing. And a lots of marketing/earned reputation (that is another can of worms). And the need to cover for all the overhead, marketing included, that you do not have to worry about. Then, you did not make your cable to make money while Audioquest has to make money. It all adds up. I am not sure to how much, but it is not negligible. Then comes the question "how much will the market bear" and you end up with $9800.
