Most overpriced audio component made

For me it’s Power Cords. A person pays $200 for the latest and greatest, then plugs it into a $1.95 receptacle/wall outlet which in turn is connected to 10 other outlets/devices and then runs 50 feet back to the Service Panel. The wiring in most cases is no more than 12 gauge Romex!. Also, the wiring in most of OUR houses was done by the LOWEST BIDDER.

Good point vegasears. This is why many of us have dedicated circuits and sub-panels for our listening rooms, with heavier gauge wire installed. Well worth the money and/or effort.

I am a Building Inspector, so I have unique knowledge. At the same time I am an Audiophile, I do understand the need for the ?Best?. I did put in a ?Dedicated 20 amp circuit? for my amp. I did it because my amp?s Owner Manual recommends it. When I look at TWEAKS, I do the math. What do I get for the money! If spend $200.00 for a power cord which gives me minor improvement is it worth the MONEY? I would rather spend the money on recordings. Like I said I am a audiophile, so I will spend $250.00 to replace 3 month old factory tubes because I read a review somewhere which stated ? Replacing the cheap original Chinese tubes will greatly improve the sound quality? Go figure, such is life in front of the speakers.
