Power cord choice?
A crack in the Standard model?  Fast forward to 5:30 if you don't want to wait.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PMcRNRtuHs 
Power cord choice?
I guess I am the moron now. I’d rather trust you guys over Armirm at Audio science Review. He’s not that accomplished of a guy, I looked him up, He probably bought that $28,000 piece of review equipment off of the interest he made on his money t... 
Power cord choice?
All right, you guys win. If you can’t soak in some science from guys that are more experienced than most of us on this forum I guess I’ll give up. Who’s the moron now? The morons are those who believe in anything without questioning.  Yes, e... 
Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!!
LOLs!  Send a sample to the AudioScienceReview guy so he can measure!. 
Power cord choice?
With the name like "AudioScienceReview", I mean who could have argued?  It got the word "Review" hence it has to be good, right?And as for the "Null Tester", it got me laughing out loud as how naive that is.    
Power cord choice?
For those who are using the "water" analogy, have you had a chance to look at the size of the amp "fuses"? Tiny little thing would represent the bottleneck but it is not.  Electricity is not like water.    If the last 3ft does not make any differe... 
DIY cables question
Making a good proper pair of cables for audio are not easy.  You can make some cheap DIY cables and they can sound decent.  I've done that before using Cat5/or Goertz foils.  But they won't be as good as good as a well engineered pair of cables.  ... 
Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?
I love the smell of cables in the morning. 
Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?
Although you could make a case that difference may not be better, but if everything is based on personal preference then the human race would not have come this far.  We may not know which is better but you would know it when you hear it.It's like... 
Best Sounding Speaker Cables?
^^^ Most LCR meters measure LCR of a cable as a per foot metric.  But in a cable the LCR is a distributed phenomenal so it's not like the entire cable is one big inductor or capacitor.  The inductance or capacitance can vary along the length of a ... 
Best Sounding Speaker Cables?
LCR is dynamic to the level it impacts musical program. I am not sure what you meant.  But inductors and capacitors can become non-linear if the applied stimulus will exceed the rating parameters. 
Best Sounding Speaker Cables?
LCR is spatially variable.  To some degree, LCR is also dependent on the input stimulus.  To say LCR per foot is just too much of a blasphemy.   
Best Sounding Speaker Cables?
Which all distill down to LCR and R is mostly irrelevant The problem these are all variable.  They are not constant. 
Underwood HiFi Cables
Before Equi=Core was bought out by Underwood, they were selling power cords that were revealed to be straight re-brands from China, available on Amazon. Back in the day, someone pointed it out in one of the threads about the company and the the... 
Underwood HiFi Cables
I think we need to see the internal of the power cord.  It's possible Underwood may be using some fancy marketing terminology, but underneath it's just like any other power cords.  Investing in the engineering to design a good power cord is not so...
