Power Cords Snake Oil ??
said above >>Not all theories are equally well supported by data.With regard to this thread string theory will never be subject to verification or data. It is almost pure mathematics, and will likely forever remain so, which has caused some ...

Hi Eldartford and Hw61:Ya 61, their unit is almost as big as mine but mine is bigger!However, it's not so much the choice of Bell wire or zipcord. It's the proprietary treatment of the wire that counts. My zip- cord is CryoThermionically treated. ...
