Power cord? Why?

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?

I am sort of surprised at the results that your evaluation group came up with since the constant casting process only considers and improves on the crystallization process that metals go through during its cooling process and not the amount of fractures it does or does not reduce. In fact, from the X-ray photos I've seen on some Asian websites that market CC, the metals actually already have numerous fractures in them. It is merely the minimalization of stray crystallizations that seems to benefit the sonic attributes of the metal in question since these stray crystals allegedly distort the signal transfer process. However, I am not EE so who knows.

Parameters:
When doing a cable A-B if one cable allows you to hear: The background insruments as obvious as the presentation in the foreground,the singer's voice is so well articulated every word is crystal clear,the quality of the instruments being used as well as the projected technique and skill of the virtuoso,ambient reflections do the size of the hall. Why stop there? One cable allows your transistor amp to run 12 degrees cooler while there is a 6db increase in volume measured at the speaker because its design does not generate loss. The people who have just experienced the demonstration could care less about "published results" they have just received a healthy dose of reality. Now I have a question for you. Do you think there experiences in life that are self evident?

all experiences can be broken down into apriori fragments or so kant would say. and, as descartes would say, apriori is self evident. Thus, would the essence of experience be lost if there is no self evidence?

So putting all things aside and the nit pick. I was a industrial as well as a medical x-ray technician for a number of years. So all this metal wire which is cryoed, constant casted, solid vs. stranded, welded, soldered and crimped still has stress fractures in the wire and in the weld or solder joint. I can't even believe that some companies have gone to welding the wire to plugs. So as the metal expands and contracts with temperature variations and humidity, as it is bent in the application it is meant for, as it ages and becomes more brittle. What does all this falderal buy us. Not a darn thing except something neat to talk about.
