Brave man, McGowan...

Brave for sure. This will alienate a bunch of people. All cable haters and snake oilers. Very risky business for Paul to post this in public forum.

Interesting that those on this forum who have a professional history of working in the scientific/engineering/physics field; those who work or have a long history of working in the engineering/mixing/producing end of making music; those who have a history of building electrical components and have the knowledge and understanding of how they actually work - are the ones continually ridiculed here, when they question someones outlandish, unfound claims of grander, especially when attached to an even more outlandish price tag.

That’s just great! It looks like we have a budding bromance happening right here and it’s Thanksgiving. I think I’m going to tear up. Sniff, sniff 😢 
Stalkers welcome. I have a bunch in my stable already but there’s always room for one more. Even UNstable ones. Get it? Unstable.
Czech Republic finally won a Nobel prize for Physics in 2007. I guess it’s true what they say, hard work and patience pays off. 🤗
On the other hand, he has an irritating habit of saying, I have no idea how it works but work it does! There is no harm in taking a swing at the ball. He already stepped up to the plate, for crying out loud. Is it the fear of striking out? They’re his videos, that’s true, but sometimes he comes across as a little bit dottering.

Speaking of space/time...........I wonder what type of power cables they use at CERN on the particle accelerator/smasher. They are certainly dealing variations of the infinite.

>>>>>I have it on fairly reliable authority that CERN uses audiophile AntiCables primarily because it turns out they’re really good for observing AntiParticles. 👀
No, cables and power cords are not filtering AC noise. They are oft shielded against external noise of the RF variety but any noise on the AC comes right in along with the audio signal. I am not making this up and I didn’t invent reality. Not to mention there are other types of noise from many sources including the noise coming right through the windows and noise generated by microprocessors as well as magnetic fields. I don’t use cables or power cords personally so I actually don’t have a dog in this fight. But I do know there’s no substitute for Signal to Noise + Distortion Ratio.
I suspect AES has already delved into the dodgy and murky subject of do power cords really make a difference and that the AES sub-committee on Testing Weird Audiophile Beliefs has already established beyond a reasonable doubt that high confidence participants proved that power cords all sound the same in controlled double blind tests.
“I can hear the diff in interconnect & loudspeaker wire but that is actually carrying the signal, so it makes sense.”

Sometimes I can’t decide who is funnier. The skeptics or the believers.
