Thanks for the reply, and, yes, I agree with your assessment.
I ordered both the AQ and Voodoo adapters and will give them a try.
Hey, I just spent over $1K on these Power Cords, so what is another hundred or so?
I am a bit bummed by the fact that these companies put out a product that performs well, but doesn't work in real world conditions. The guy at AQ noted my concerns, but I doubt they will be taken seriously.
If I had some more time and money, I would design these things. Considering how some people are buying tuning bowls and tachyon field generators for sound reproduction, I think offering a solution to stiff power cable connecting might just be my retirement fund.
