I wish offensive remarks would be eliminated from our discussion and perhaps those doing so would be removed from the discussion group. This certainly makes people uneasy for posting their questions in the first place. If this is allowed to continue, it won't be long before only those who are sarcastic to remain. I wonder how many were turned off and no longer participate in the group. Perhaps the people who control this discussion group could come up with some new rules for people to sign in order to participate. I must admit some of the discussion can be ridiculous. However, how many of us had similar questions about this hobby when they first began. Perhaps, as a result no question is a stupid question. Some people new to this hobby begin their questions by saying they are are new to this hobby and hope their question does not offend those who are more experienced. How else can people learn.
There has got to be a difference between a 1/4 inch diameter power cord that comes from the manufacturer vs a 1 inch diameter high end power cable. i wish a lab could clear up some of the myths. Maybe it is like the Emperors New Cloths. If you spend enough money it convinces you that it sounds better. Wonder what Miller Carbon's thought are?
