Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money

How does a cable get outdated🙄, If it conducted well 30 years ago doesn’t it conduct well now?Sounds like fashion to me, have to keep up with the stylish trends…

+1 for letsmakeadeal and asbrd.   Nice to see some reality-based posts on a cable thread   

"Some cable labeling has to do with the shielding but not wire directionality. Analysis Plus for example IIRC. Some companies control both, but some cables companies are not on board the wire directionality choo choo 🚂 so they don’t control the manufacturing process to address directionality of the wire."

@geoffkait  they don't control it because it doesn't exist. There is no such thing as directionality in the wire and even if there was the signal going through it is AC so it wouldn't matter. Just because you repeat something a thousand times doesn't make it true 

And Elizabeth, I'm sorry but duplexes have zero effect on the sound. As long as it's gripping your power cable properly and the electricity is being transferred that's all that matters.
 It just boggles the mind how people think that that could have any effect! After it goes through the duplex and then it's rectified and change to DC then it goes through your gain stages etc. etc. 
 No I agree you are probably hearing a difference but that's purely psychological because you wasted X amount of money on the receptacle. 

 You know what they say, a fool and his money… 

 And regarding my outdated dogma, I didn't know the laws of electricity changed to stay fashionable 🙄

Some of you should spend a little bit of time studying electrical theory and how these devices work. Then you would realize how silly your faith based claims really are!

 You might as will believe in the tooth fairy! 

 And why stop at the receptacle in the wall? You have such a golden ear you can probably hear the difference between coal generated electricity and hydroelectricity! You should move to Niagara Falls so you can get that nice clean pure hydroelectricity!! The music will sound much more natural and flow better.  Especially Handel. 
Then there is wind generator power… It would sound nice and light and lively and airy!

And I don't understand folks reaction when you're telling them they're getting ripped off when they're buying thousand dollar power cords.   Instead of looking into it and learning so they can ensure it doesn't happen more than once, they just get angry with you. I used to be one of you. I used to buy audio file fuses and power cords  and convince myself thing sounded much better when I use them. Then I started wondering if there was something to what other people were saying, that it was all nonsense. I started learning more about how things work and asking  people much more knowledgable than I. What I found was that inevitably very intelligent people who built this stuff and know how electricity worked pretty much all thought it was nonsense. 

@fleschler  hate to break it to you man but electrical theory can explain why.  And you're not Superman, you're hearing is not more acute than measurement devices.

What a surprise, the gold sounds warmer!
