Dream system - but no aftermarket power cords

Jofte, the AC12's on ebay are fakes. I have been checking this out the last couple of days. The real AC12's have a long barrel and the fakes have a shorter barrel like the AC10. I bought one from a member here before realizing that there are fakes out there and what the differences were. The ad was removed immediatley after payment which makes me a little nervous.

There will be no end to cable debates. Someone once challenged me to a $10,000 bet on whether or not I could hear a difference in power cords. The problem was that the system they were providing was not mine and their system was full of switches. The point being is that you only need to be able to tell if cabling makes a difference in your own system. If it doesn't then be thankful that you have saved a lot of money. I wish this was the case with me. I really wanted standard stock cords to be the end but that didn't happen. I realized I was in trouble when I installed dedicated lines and an Oyaide R1 outlet. Once I heard the "hash" in my system substantially diminish I knew there was something more to just electron flow through the system. Both my dad and brother retired from the local power company so skepticism ran deep. They both have told me that electricity is not as simple as just electrons flowing through cable and flowing is not a good term to describe electricity. It is very forceful and violent like a jackhammer and wants to escape the cable. They have seen friends die from electricity without actually grabbing the cable. Static electricity in the air at the time caused the connection between an arm and cable and sucked a limb into the 480v cable like a magnet. This is from not paying attention to safe practices at the time. Tenticles comes to mind here. When you can hear electricity going through cabling and it scares you to be around it then you know it is an unconrollable force. As a matter of fact, when you clamp down tight on high voltages the sound and vibration of the cable does change from a loud buzz to a less vibrant buzz. If a wire comes a little loose from a transformer the transformer can become unstable and really get loud. Strand jumping comes to mind as well as arching. Are we just dealing with this on a smaller scale to where our ears can pick up on this through speakers? I know that there are properties of electricity that can be measured but I also feel that there are things within the violent flow that we can't see or measure. How would you measure the amount of arching or strand jumping? Or how much rfi is actually being absorbed into the flow? Does magnetic interference affect quality of sound and who determines what the quality consists of? There is too much going on regarding electricity force that nobody will ever be able to prove that soemthing is happening inside the wire or not. IMHO I don't think it is a matter of just electrons moving from point to point. This is to easy to say about something that is so violent! If you ever want to feel what it is like to be a jackhammer try holding onto 120v then tell us how much static, rfi, emi you sensed at the time.
