| Mad Scientist Audio Speaker Cable @couger4u "the sounds is equal to Nordost Valhalla." "one idea was that the speaker and cable can act as a giant antenna and send that RF back into the amplifier, so this lead to idea of a “bad antenna” design to minimize pickup (and also transm... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @amir_asr "by the simple fact that every piece of audio gear assumes dirty power coming in. That power is converted to DC and in the process, heavily filtered. That leaves nothing for the power cord to do than deliver the required current.This... | |
