power cord for mbl n31

It is hard to AB power cords…
But if the $10 example (above) and the Persimmon did not have a lot of difference, then something different from the persimmon may also not have a lot of difference?
I wonder if you could have the Persiommon tested somewhere? (like ASR)

I find it troubling that you believe that silver can sound different than copper, after the DC (Electrons) have been loaded into the capacitors.

• How would those electrons know what they touched along the way?
  
• How does the nucleus of a copper atom versus the nucleus of a silver atom affect the electrons in the valence shells?
  
• Don’t the voltage regulators, and other silicon chip bits, set the DC Voltage in the power supply?

^The BS^ seems pretty thick this morning.

If you can spot the BS holmz please point it out I would love to see it.

The Buddhist saying is, “that you’ll see it when you believe it”. So I doubt that you would be swayed as you believe that the power cables work.

I suggested that the OP compare the persimmon to a $10 cable as a baseline.


But how is this:

It takes less energy to move the valence electrons in silver than it does to move the valance electron in copper

The resistance of copper is slightly greater than silver, but considering that the power comes from the dam or the power station on cables… and one can get electrocuted just as easily on an Aluminum or steel ladder would lead one to believe that the resistance loss on most “conductors” is not of overly great importance.

Then the power supply in the device is operating on DC… Those electrons do not likely have the sentient nature to know how they got there. Unless we are thinking that there is some quantum entanglement happening where they got the golden or silver touch, and the magic rubbed off onto them somehow.

If we are talking about chokes, filters, or capacitors… then that would be a way to mitigate noise coming in. But I have not yet seen any documented proof that the geometry, or shape of the wires does anything magical… unless it is affecting inductance or capacitance directly.
If you have some proof, then I would love to see it.

I’ve found most under $100 cables haven't made a difference vs stock cables with any of my equipment . The more expensive cables I have the SQ improvements are obviously heard. The hows and whys of electron flows , the technology etc I could care less about, listening for me is the final arbiter. Have you used/tested/compared any power cords aside from the stock/$10 cords that come standard with equipment? If so, please detail which and specifically how they were no better

It should be incumbent upon the supplier of cords to show that they work, or outline under which environmental conditions one should consider them to be needed.

The fact you “could care less” does not negate that the cords follow the basic physics that Maxwell, Volta, Ohm etc. provided us with
I would not trust me ears to listen to a cord and not be swayed, but if there are double blind tests then that would also be some evidence that they work... Even if one did not know how or why they work… at least it could be shown that the cords resulted in a statistically provable difference.

An ad hominem attack is exactly what is required when there is nothing to support the magic.

Let me let you in on a little something, holmz. When you pretended to decry the inhuman treatment I'm subjected to I knew it was pure virtue signalling. You desperately seek approval and know you can never get it by thinking and figuring anything out for yourself, so you play at it hoping to impress others similarly afflicted. You actually think this Buddha persimmon electrocution stuff is clever. Reality check, you are fast becoming the power cord version of george.     

It is not "incumbent upon" anyone to prove anything to you. Most of us are here to help in whatever way we can others to build musically satisfying systems. There are plenty of other places for people who just want to preen and pose and pretend. I humbly suggest you take your act to where it will more likely fit in, Audio Science Review
