Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord?

@hickamore Agreed. Mileage varies, but the thing about calling it all BS is that the denier gets the relief of emotional closure. Not denying them that pleasure; the problem emerges when their closure is proffered as empirical proof for a more general claim. That's where they go wrong, though others seeking closure like to pile on to support their faulty reasoning.

noske, I asked of deniers, "Do you think that these cords and conditioners have just been fooling everyone for decades?" For the record, your answer is "yes."

I’ll agree we should remove the word "stupid" and let the person who thinks *everyone* has been fooled *for decades* use their own adjective to characterize so many people buying useless gear -- or just forego attaching any adjectives at all. This is a hobby. Let people have their audio kabuki!

There is nothing careless about that reasoning. Thinking so is reasoning carelessly.

Just make sure you have large gauge cords for your amp. Because after dozens, and likely hundreds, of feet of 14 gauge romex, that last 3 feet of 10 ga copper will make all the difference.

And now that I've solved the power issue herein, thank you,  what do I do about nonstop landscaper noise now that spring is here?

Ever since they invented the leaf blower things have never been the same.  Carrying a jet engine on your back and walking around the neighborhood is impacting Quality of life substantially.  It's like a frog in gradually heating water we never really recognized this problem as it grew and now it's too late. Somehow it's very important to remove every last leaf on the lawn and be absolutely neurotic about edging.  Are brooms still being sold? 

We no longer can see most of the stars at night and now we can't enjoy peacefulness during the day.
