Power cord? Why?


I see a lot of posts regarding power cords. I would like to know what sonic difference they actually make. Could anybody explain this in a simple way?

Thank you

When you said "stacked", this made me think of three pieces of zip cord standing side by side in a row i.e. "hot / hot / hot" stacked on top of "neutral / neutral / neutral" and then twisted. By staggering the conductors, i meant exactly what you ended up doing, i.e. alternating polarity for every other wire. That should work fine from what i can tell. My only thoughts are "good luck" in getting all of these properly terminated into a connector : ) Sean

sean...When twisted together three #12 conductors were obviously too big to fit even a heavy duty connector. No problem. I soldered the twisted triad together, and then milled it down with a grinder so as to just barely fit the connector.
El: I'd be curious as to the specific capacitive and inductive measurements that you get with such a cable. Is it possible to either post these specs or forward them to me via email if you have the means to do so ? Sean

It doesn't work like that! Mill down #12 to #16 at termination point and you have #16.
Sean - been at HE2003, but I'm back now. Regarding Goertz, these cables make a lot of sense technically. There is no way to get lower inductance than this. Not sure why Roger would be concerned about the amps. They should be able to drive these - particularly given they do not have any global negative feedback. His concern is probably more about the speakers themselves.
