Power Cord for Power Conditioner

"Much of the science behind power cords, interconnects and speaker cables has been explained. It takes a good background in Electrical Engineering to understand it."

You can't lump in power cords with ic's and speaker cables. Electrical engineers (like me for what it is worth) will tell you that one is connected to a device designed to accurately amplify or transmit a signal and the other is connected to a filter network designed to gobble up hash on the incoming power line. It is an apples an oranges thing.

In all honesty, if someone discovered a way to improve sensitivity of equipment by changing power cords it would be a significant technical advance and very newsworthy event. There would be great benefit and wide ranging application in medical, industrial and military equipment for example. It would be a nobel prize worthy achievement.

I've been laughed off of a couple of forums because I sang the priases of cd and lp demagnetizing.
I use a Hammond bulk tape eraser that came out of a recording studio.
Got it for free, the owner switched to digital.

I've offered several invitations to demo it's effects, but none of the naysayers have ever taken me up on the challenge.

They prefer to just deny that it works.
Or seek scientific validation of why it should.
Whatever happened to actually giving it a listen and then making up your mind afterwards?
Their minds are made up beforehand.

Anyway, I am about to embark on yet another DIY 20 amp power cord, this time with upscale Furutech connectors and wire.

I know it will sound different, but will it be better than buying a Shunyata to match the Hydra?

I just hope it comes close, because the cost of both is close.

This is the new audiophile,quite different from the ones I knew when I started on my journey 40 years ago.

Good luck with the power cord project. With one son in college and one in high school, I spend any free time I can these days just listening to music. It's hard to get the S/N level in the house down to a minimum for total musical immersion. Hey, a new term- TMI.

Very good point Jeff.

Lacee,
I think the problem many have with demagnetizing stuff with no magnetic properties is one of 'How?' or 'Why?' could it possibly have any effect?

If I could get over that hump, I'd certainly give it a try or at least a trial listen.

Does demagnetizing an LP have the same effect if played on a MC as MM cart?
