Transparent Audio power cords

comments !
cables yes you are delusional you spent the $ you have an expectation of results bias you actually think you can hear things that cannot be measured ? Did you do double blind A-B tests ? NO clearly not so pseudo science ! no one would dare try to publish such pablum in a scientific journal the peer review would skewer you !

@garykarczewski6678 So you’re telling me power that traveled hundreds of miles through antiquated power lines, then reached your 40 year old panel, with 40 year old breakers, then traveled a few more feet through your 40 year old wiring to your equipment is magically going to get fixed by an expensive power cable? Do people really believe this garbage?

I can see how people without any knowledge of electrical systems could believe power cables make a difference but to anyone with even the most basic knowledge (most audiophiles i imagine) its just ridiculous they coukld believe a power cable could make any difference. Its insanity! These people need to be locked up in a padded room especially they audio reviews claiming " oh this cable really added volume to the mids!" wtf!

The only reason folks push obnoxiously priced power cords is simple - money. If you call them out and ask them to do a blind test, they won’t. They say it can’t be measured with equipment, you have to hear it to believe it. They’re pushing this junk because they’re getting a kickback or a commission. Thank you for the video!

... being decades long analog design engineer I would love to ask you to actually measure noise floor for different power cables ...

If you're such an experienced engineer, why would you ask someone else to undertake measurements for your benefit?

I see this post brought out the Flat Earth Trolls in force.  This is more fun than any of the political forums for sure. @quickjack1234 you are very funny and entertaining. 

Well, my fellow audiophiles, we may be doomed. We are again condemned for failing to pray at the alter of the oscilloscope. The wrath of the oscilloscopians is upon us. Are we to be smitten by the gods of the cult of the lead and leather eared for failing to embrace their sacred utterance that "If they can't hear it, then nobody else can or will be allowed to hear it"?

Yes, I agree about the entertainment value that the Flat Earthers provide but, I don't understand what they have to be so unhappy about. Audiophiles are not taking money out of the naysayers pocket to spend on audio cables and equally, the naysayers are also not spending their own money on the "snake oil" products. Of course there is the possibility that the cable deniers are actually just very good at chain yanking for their own entertainment .

I use some upscale (older PS Audio, Pangea, Audioquest, fat rubber thing supplied with my Pass amp) but not too extreme AC cables and my system sounds great...the cable supplied with my recently added Audioquest 707 conditioner has a flat plug on one end that is convenient (and they recommend using it which retired a very inconvenient, too stiff, wrestling match provoking garden hose-ish AC cable in my previous conditioner), and the extreme "premium" AC outlets I've used for years are so grippy I think the wall might come detached when I unplug something. Otherwise stock wire is in the wall. Lots of redundancy with bespoke power supplies for my phono preamp and one of my DACs...all of this results in a very quiet system without my losing sleep over some modest wiring here and there. I’d rather spend big bucks adding another guitar to my collection than on a $4K AC cable, but hey...you go right ahead. Does Nelson Pass recommend "special" AC cables? Uh...no.
