Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
whether its 2k for 1 or 2 does not matter, you are splitting hairs geoffkait.As a FYI i had MIT cables in my system for a while, when i moved up to Maggie 20.7s i decided i did not want that MIT cable wart in the audio stream and replaced them wit... 
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
anyone who would spend $2k on a set of bikes wheels is crazy, same goes for the audio bling cable (speaker, interconnect, & power) pricing referenced on this forum.  suggesting that these expensive cables actually make a difference to ANY syst...

+1 for kahlenzBJC Belden 5T00UP 10 AWG Speaker Cable will meet all the requirements we need & they have the best terminations available AND they are NOT expensive. Unfortunately, for some BJC has not discovered some of the voodo science (direc... 
Schiit not shipping
A slightly different issue, it took >3 weeks for Schiit to do the Yggdrasil Analog 2 upgrade, it will finally get back to me next week. 
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
ampzillaOneYou mention "dedicated copper ground rods", are you suggesting these be installed in a separate location?  If so, that would violate code and create a nasty ground loop potential.  Other than that I very much agree with your suggestions... 
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
mr_manyone who buys or considers buying a >3K power cord should have their head examined and fully deserve to have their wallet drained.absolutely absurd that anyone would buy something like that!Its interesting that no one has been able to mea... 
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
In the US the "signal" would be a 60hz sign wave and at 120vThe concept of a dielectric conducting any signal in the audible spectrum of 20-20hz is ridiculous As frequency increases, the Dielectric starts exhibiting shunt resistive losses which ca... 
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
geoffkaitShare with us the physics of how a photon, a particle of light transfers on a wire medium?  Also, please share with us the college that taught you this amazing fact of physics!To answer this question, photons are the energy-packets that c... 
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
geoffkaitYou have lost us with this quote!Electrons are only charge carriers. The signal, the thing traveling through wire at super high speed, is photons. Pop quiz: do photons have mass? Maybe you should get your money back from the high school y... 
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
Well for some us the world is flat and others its round.If you dont understand how electrons play a roll in an electric circuit how can you understand that arrows on a wire are meaningless.60 hertz(meaning the current changes direction or polarity... 
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
geoffkait, you need to take a course or study the fundamentals of AC ie ALTERNATING CURRENT.  The electrons in an AC circuit don’t really move along with the current flow. Instead, they sort of sit and wiggle back and forth. They move one directio... 
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
geoffkait states:You’re right about one thing, the AC current does travel in both directions. But only one of those directions is audible. See if you can guess which one. A prize for the right answer. So what about one of our favorite amp specs, d... 
Does anyone have any experience with Bryston amps
Not sure what kind of system don_c55 has to say Bryston is sterile or that Magnepan is using it for demos because they are cheap.  Bryston engineering is very good and their equipment is very well made.My first go with Bryston was a 4b-st and Magg... 
speaker cable prices
Ok, so you have an speaker wire (2 wires to be simple), 50% of the time current is going one direction and then the other on both wires, not just 1 wire.  So i ask you which way would you point the arrows when 1/2 the time the direction is wrong? ... 
speaker cable prices
Hmm, i’m not following you because you are mixing AC & DC & the rules of physics. If what you suggest was true all AC circuits would be wrong 50% of the time because the current goes both ways, if it didn’t the circuit would not work, peri...
