Power cord? Why?

I don't know what Corona is specifically speaking of, but i'd love to have this subject expounded upon in a more specific manner. Along with Kool39's question, consider me the second party that would like Corona to further discuss the thoughts expressed earlier in this thread. Sean

I think he meant cables that are extruded with the continuous casting methodology such as Coincidence, Harmonic Tech, Acoustic Zen among others.

I'm thinking that Corona was commenting more on wire geometry than the way that wire is drawn, but only Corona can answer that question : ) Sean

That is exactly what I ment. The companies you mentioned should have warning label "PLEASE DO NOT BEND". It does not matter, their overall design/performance is so bad they have been the object of many jokes created by our independent evaluation groups.

Corona, can you please go into a lot more detail on that last one. What parameters does your group measure, what parameters does it think are relevant, how does it correlate them with sound or with other system parameters, and where does it publish it's results?
