how can a line cord affect frequency response ?

MRT, I am delighted you enjoy my Subalpine attempts to humour. Admittedly, I'd enjoy a therapist very much, except for all accounts payable associated with the service. Last I checked my blood pressure was still nominal. no danger taking myself terribly seriously. . . afraid I never did in the past and likely never will in the future. Similarly, I seem to experience a hard time taking logical sophistry too seriously. I am terribly sorry you feel compelled to offer me a quick funeral service during a court debate. . . in some way though, I feel very honored by the challange, as I am definitely not a legal professional such as yourself, nor The Queen's language is even my mother tongue, nor it is my second language. Would it make you feel truly spiritually fulfilled to do so? Or perhaps you would prefer to reconsider, take a big breath, and try a more convivial, or mayhaps even serenely peripatetic look at the topic at hand and at this virtual community of disembodied souls.

Dpac996, I'd love to contribute to the objectivist explanations of the PC phenomenon. My only problem is that. . . I am just not at all qualified to do so, except for spotting the occasional attempts to pseudo-science, which, fortunately, I have not detected yet in this thread.

my apologies to all for criticizing others for taking audio matters too seriously, when i am guilty of this myself.

i will try to lighten up and limit the sophistry, but not completely.

trying not to be pedantic, maybe i am, if measurements are taken, and observations are confirmed, one can justifiably have confidence that an event that took place in the past, will take place again. but such confidence is not certainty. without certainty it is not knowledge. most decisions are made based upon confidence of consistency of events.

i recently spoke to a cable designer and he asserts that the metal, dielectric, dampening material, geometry, shielding or the lack thereof, connectors and the connection--solder or other, all affect the performance of a line cord.

i guess there is no definitive answer as to this question.

No prob at all Mrtennis, enjoy the the discussion.
