Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing

Hi All, I got bit by the Snake River Audio bug and took advantage of their Labor Day sale.  After talking with Jonny (nicest guy) I bought 2 of the signature hybrids and 1 of the cottonmouth power cables.  The unboxing was an experience and these cables are beautiful. The cables were shipped all kids of certificates and goodies from Idaho.  I can't wait to get these into the system and give you all my feedback.  If you're on the fence, just call Jonny and let him tell you about the cables first hand.

In general should one use these ferrite clamps on power cords? I read that they act like chokes. Hence most people plug amps directly into the wall rather than a power conditioner. 
 

btw, all the images of the sra cords posted on the sra site show them without the clamps. Can one use the cord without the clamps?

 

thanks.

How do ferrite cores work?  Per PS Audio Paul.

@tee_dee I am not a cable designer nor do I have a background in electromagnetics (is that a word, lol).  However, I had always though the cores were in place to prevent extreme lows and highs that are well above and below your audio systems capabilities, from leaking noise into a cable.  Perhaps someone with much more experience than I can help answer that question.

Yes. Approved by Andrea Bocelli and Stevie Wonder in two independent studies. I read about on Facebook. However…
