Frankly (ezkc)dude, I could care less what you do or do not believe. Nor do I care or see the relevence of yet another of your 'thought experiments'. My comments were specifically about the differences between 2 $6 powercords, not about $10,000 amplifiers, or the marketing decisions of their vendors. Your CDD (comprehension deficit disorder) is not my problem. Please make an effort to stay on point. But I do largely agree with Phil that some of these expensive powercords have tremendously beneficial subjective effect. I'm simply too cheap to spend the monies, and stick with my specific $6 cords, preferring to spend my efforts on building my balancing powerconditioners (yeah, I know, if the sound if effected the powersupply designer failed, quack, quack quack). Indeed, I'll try to make it over to Phil's. I'll also bring over a surplus discrete 5v powersupply for his SqueezeBox as well as my Felicia conditioner, and if it provides a benefit over the Hosfelt and PowerOne from CascadeSurplus powersupplies(I was the original source for those reccomendations) I'll post about that. Ezckdude - Have you actually done anything to your SqueezedBox? Or do you simply post your thought experiments and their conclucsions?, alleviating yourself of the necessity of empirically doing anything? -- occam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ occam's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=949 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19818 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
