Michael: Until you can get rid of / suppress the noise and interference on the line, you'll never have a "neutral" power cord. That's because the impedance and design of the cord itself will introduce varying levels of filtering / wave-shaping distortions to the broad-band "polluted" signal entering the device.

If you get rid of the noise / interference before it enters the power cord, the characteristics of the power cord become FAR less critical. That's because all the power cord has left to do is to maintain the purity and amplitude of the signal that was fed into it and keep its' own "antenna action" to a minimum. After all, we are talking about a 60 Hz sine wave here. You don't need to worry about too much here as a sine wave is FAR more limited in bandwidth and duty cycle as compared to that of a square wave, etc... This reduces the need for fast transient response and / or wide bandwidth, so skin effect isn't of much concern either.

It's too bad that people are gullible enough / lack the proper education in certain areas to pay good money for a few dB's of non-linear attenuation / elevation with random results and predictability. They could be achieving results that are both far more consistent, linear and measurable for equal or less money. Then again, nobody ever said that all audiophiles were smart shoppers or that all cable manufacturers were honest or ethical.

Sean, what is a "nuetral" power cord? Is yours neutral? Tell us about it, and how you know it is neutral? What is your listening referent? I asked these questions before but, there were no takers. I wonder why? thanks in advance....peace, warren

Sean, how fortunate we are that you were not schooling the Wright Brothers.

Now back to my make believe world,

I'll let the sales-shack marketing carry on as it was before i entered this thread. I'll just say that i guess i would be bitter & upset if someone were publicly questioning the necessity of a product that i made and others like it, especially if i couldn't refute their statements or experiences. Especially if after all of the forum marketing hype, all i could sell were 3 power cords for the entire first month that they were available.

Personally, something like this would make me think that maybe if i had conducted proper spectral analysis tests and taken measurements in the difference of the noise floor using lab grade test equipment, i could actually document the performance benefits and design attributes of the cable. That would allow me to have proof of my claims and as a result, sales might improve. Then again, if none of the other cable manufacturers were offering proof of their claims, why should anyone expect that? Maybe if one were to keep coming out with newer models and make bolder claims, they could charge even more money and sell a few more cables. Hmmm.... Sean
