Transparent Audio power cords

                   Forth paragraph, second link provided, offers this info:

A deposit equal to 5% of the selling price of the borrowed cables will be charged to the consumer´s credit card when the arrangements for the cable loan are made. This deposit is not refundable but will be applied in full against purchases (cable or non-cable products) from The Cable Company, Usedcable.com, or our Ultra Systems affiliate.

       One note: the service is (unfortunately) only available to residents of the USA.

        Of course: "pittance" would be a relative term, dependent on the price of items of interest and the condition of one's wallet.

                                                    Happy listening!

     Don’t waste a microsecond, reading the blather from the deaf, delusional, and divergent (from fact).

     No one can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new cabling/wires.   There are simply too many variables.

     The only way you’ll know for certain, is try them for yourself.

     The least expensive way: contact the guys at The Cable Company and take advantage of their lending library.

     For a pittance, you can try a few of their offerings and the rental fees are applied to any purchase made.

                       Whether to explore/spend further: up to you!

       BTW, it’s science that says the earth is round, and the science deniers who say otherwise...so when you come up with the flat-earther trope, that really refers to the cable believer camp, not the science and engineering camp.

    Is that an example of willful ignorance, or- just ignorance of the truth/facts/science, gleaned since the 1800's, regarding electricity?

 Does Nelson Pass recommend "special" AC cables? Uh...no.

         Things may have changed, but: as of not very long ago, Frank Dickens, the owner of Silent Source cables, was basically on staff with Pass and: they voiced their equipment with his cables and power cords, made largely with Ohno CC metals.

                                              Happy listening!

      "The super computer is technologically impossible.  It would take all of the water that flows over Niagara Falls to cool the heat generated by the number of vacuum tubes required." (Professor of Electrical Engineering, New York University)

     When the steam locomotive came on the scene; the best (scientific) minds proclaimed, "The human body cannot survive speeds in excess of 35MPH."

      Until recently (21st Century); and the advent of the relatively new science of Fluid Dynamics, the best (scientific) minds involved in Aerodynamics, could not fathom how a bumblebee stays aloft. 

     Often; Science has to catch up with the facts/phenomena of Nature and/or, "reality" (our universe). 

     I haven't been in school since the 60's, but- at Case Institute of Technology; the Physics Prof always emphasized what we were studying was, "Electrical THEORY."         He strongly made a point of the fact that no one had yet actually observed electrons (how they behave on the quantum level) and that only some things can really be called, "LAWS." (ie: Ohm, Kirchoff, Faraday)   

                           PERHAPS: that's changed in recent years and I missed it?
