Fast power cables?

Hey, all the red necks with the cynical comments, either be funny and smart, which you are far from, or just go look for other threads to be dumb about.
Thanks.

You can try silver power cords. From AES (Audio Engineering Society) copper has a 100% rating, silver is 106.
I run such PC's from "SignalCable", they offer it with Furutech connectors.

From AES (Audio Engineering Society) copper has a 100% rating, silver is 106.

To clarify, that refers to the conductivity of each metal, for a given length and a given gauge. Conductivity is inversely proportional to resistance, and is numerically equal to the reciprocal of resistance (i.e., resistance divided into 1).

Resistance increases in direct proportion to the length of the cable, and decreases as the thickness of the conductors in the cable increases. Using a cable that is one gauge size thicker would reduce resistance by a greater amount than changing from copper to silver.

Also, any correlation between power cord resistance or conductance and the perceived "speed" of the sonics produced by the component would be unpredictable and component-dependent, IMO.

Amuseb, why are you insinuating that red necks are cynical, not funny or smart. That's as bad as a racial slur.

Amuseb ... In the mid 90’s I had a conversation with a designer/engineer/builder of power conditioners who did not build power cables and had just returned from the CES

Our conversation drifted to power cables and he was describing some that he heard at the show ... when the Shunyata brand came up his comments were nice cable but it lacks PRAT

He felt this was due to the FeSI-1000 compound over dampening and killing the PRAT

I’m wondering if your Shunyata has the FeSI-1000 filling in it ... maybe it’s lack of speed you perceive is a lack of PRAT due to the dampening material

For all the Red Necks who don’t know what PRAT is ........ Practical .. Range .. Against .. Target (;-)
