Power Cables

No shirt, Sherlock? How about power cords, fuses, isolation, directionality of wire, contact enhancer, to name a few?

It all seems ludicrous until you try it and hear it yourself. And if you can’t afford it don’t worry about it. Case closed. Moving right along...

Hair metal bands went out of fashion? Whoa!

Re. Pop Quiz " How come HDMI cables are directional?"

They are not unless they have active circuitry built in to compensate for unusually long runs. ;-)

>>>>Quick, you better tell Audioquest! I have their Carbon HDMI Cable which, like all of their high end cables, HDMI cables and power cords, are controlled for directionality during the manufacturing process. Great picture btw. 😀 When only the best will do.

to whit,

”DIRECTIONALITY: All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. All signal conductors controlled for digital-audio direction in AudioQuest HDMI cables, and care is even taken to run the conductors used in the Audio Return Channel in the opposite direction to ensure the best performance for that application. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality.”

Power cords are directional because one end is terminated to plug into the wall or power conditioner and the other end plugs into the audio equipment. I can’t remember ever seeing one that wasn’t.

Yuk, yuk. No, I mean really.

Hey, how ‘bout an explanation how power cords can be directional? Or an explanation how they can’t would be fun, too. 😀
