For anyone who is skeptical about the difference a high quality power cord can make in your high quality audio system........try it.......hearing is believing. About 10 years ago when I bought my first "entry level" hifi system (B&K amp/preamp, Canton speakers) my audio advisor dropped off a Tara Labs Prism power cord. He said just try it for a week and if you don't think it makes a difference just return it. I, like most unfamiliar with high quality cables, was skeptical.......how could a cable 1 meter long from the wall to my equipment make a difference? I put it on the power amp and yes I could definitely tell there was a more defined bass and overall clearer soundscape. I'm a musicians, so I figured maybe the "non audiophile" can't hear the difference. So my brother-in-law who is a bricklayer came over and we did a blind listening test. I randomly switched the Tara, sometimes trying to fool him......told him I switched but didn't........he could tell every time I used the Tara! So I was convinced that it was "wishful thinking on my part or particularly sensitive ears. If you don't think a great power cable can make a difference........take the challenge. Try one for a week and see (hear) for yourself!
Yes, the skies and water are nothing more than a vast open sewer and nothing we do can have any effect. Anyone who believes that still drags their knuckles when they ambulate.
The consensus of 98% of climate scientists who's specialty is climate studies, the DOD, the Pentagon, every commercial insurance company, and people with both feet on the ground, for starters.
The only side effects of a blind test is the uncertainty of what you just heard due to the short nature of the listening. All the harping of expectation bias said to exist in hearing what one actually does hear in normal listening, are present in A/B testing. It's been exposed as a cheap parlor trick a long time ago and yet, derp.
Hey, there's this big audio show coming soon in Los Angeles and I'd love to see someone who thinks PCs don't make a difference to stand on their soapbox and let loose with their beliefs, to openly debate it with some of the better makers of PCs out there. I need a good laugh.
I didn't attack anyone. I just passed on a compliment. To equate what I did with a right wing tactic is just a strawman argument: a red herring to what I actually did, which was to address the point that a good PC does make a difference.
