"Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time?
@mhwilliford -      Back in March 2022: a thread about power cords and break/burn-in was started.      I hate to type, so: I'm going to copy/paste some of my speculations.      That a highly complex musical signal, MIGHT affect Poynting vectors...
