The Big Misconception About Electricity

I have been intentionally reticent as I started this thread not as a "war game" but
because I thought some here would enjoy the tiny bit it adds to our hobby.

I also considered closing it as I understand that is my right as the OP.  But, as you see I did not in the hope that some middle ground would be reached.  Foolish me...learned my lesson.

So in the future I will not be originating any threads that are information only.
Occasionally I will ask a specific question and from time to time post in threads of interest to me or where I have a valid answer/opinion.

Back in the day when I was in the Marine Corps myself and another Sgt. rented  a mobile home.  Plenty of  parties and the unique bit was the bare wires that hung from the soffit over the sink where obviously a light should be.

Well, boys will be boys, and when the parties really got going we would have a contest to see who could hold those bare wires the longest. Amazing there were no deaths just a few fainting episodes.  Sorry no vids, there was no such thing as consumer video at the time.

You watched that YouTube video and came away with the notion power cords  and cable elevators make audible differences in stereo systems? Seriously?

No.   My ears tell me or maybe its my ear/brain interface, in any case "I don't care" as I listen to music not equipment.

Truth passes through three stages:

1) Ridicule

2) Violent opposition

3) Acceptance as self-evident

I (foolishly) took the vid at face value and didn't dig any deeper.  Reading the comments on YouTube is rather eye-opening. It's not going to change anything I
do concerning wiring on my gear.  

Much appreciated that the comments here didn't get all twisted up and spiral down.

Also, this vid really struck a nerve with his audience as there are over 47,000 comments.  Wow.

I must say you guys are doing a marvelous job of juggling dumpster fires.

My head is spinning.
