Let's talk power cords

>>>>Uh, willem, you’re doing it again. Name calling and calling someone crazy does not an argument make. I never said normal science doesn’t apply. Where did you get that from? You’re making stuff up.

Look, maybe when you present real facts then I’ll undermine them. Speaking of facts, here’s a fact. Electrons move only a few centimeters an hour. and since the power is AC they can never make it back to the power factory. They never even make it off the power cord! That's normal science. 

My brain tells me power cords make no difference.  My ears tell me they do.

A voodoo priest? I was wondering what all those robes were doing in my closet.

Besides, I don’t sell power cords. I’m only trying to set the record straight. Can’t you produce a real argument instead of name calling and silly one liners?

Geoff, you are a voodoo priest with a business.

It’s unlikely a scam since ensuring proper direction of the individual strands of the conductor in power cords (e.g., AudioQuest new Hurricane power cord) - just that one simple thing - can mean the difference between blah sound and great sound. Of course, geometry, purity of conductors, dielectric material, quality of connectors, cryogenics, burn in, things of that nature, just as for ANY cable, are also important. Besides, AC doesn't mean the flow of current that is going towards the wall goes all the way back to the power plant. Most of the action is in the power cord! And the electrons hardly move at all! Hel-loo!

No. This is a scam. Think of what is between the wall socket and the generator plant.
