Dec 26, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? We consider the power supply/power cable assembly as one unit. It is the most misunderstood and most important aspect of an audio system. We take measurements but not the kind youre talking about. Here, sign wave analysis reveals partial insight ...
Dec 26, 2003	isolation of seperate preamp power supplies? The concept works with amplifiers as well. Removing the field created by transformer always reduces circuit distortion. Isolating the fields in a power cable also is extremely effective.
Dec 25, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? "When we compare what we know to what we don't know, we can truly say we know nothing",Albert Einstein.
Dec 25, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? This attitude will guarantee stagnation.
Dec 23, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Flex:Is the one you are referring to?"I think people basically are saying theoretical physics has nothing to do with great sound". I am not sure if he believes this or is saying that others do?We believe it has everything to do with great sound ...
Dec 23, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Flex:You are right there has been 80 years of "firmly published measurement and engineering theory";and look at the mess it has created.Face it flex, you are a slave to the past. There are no words that will ever convince you of anything. That's n...
Dec 23, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Zaikesman:I think you missed the point.
Dec 22, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Flex:In my 45 years of audio I have seen an endless stream of proofs or White Papers that had nothing to do with the performance of the product; almost all were based on educated hype. There is an old saying in audio: If it tests good and sound...
Dec 21, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Subaruguru:You said it takes you 2 and 1/2 hours to build a power cable that should sell at $250.That comes out to $100 per hour with no dealer to take his share and no overhead, and youre calling other people greedy! Now let me guess, I bet you...
Dec 18, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Hi Guys:One of the many things I have discovered on my journey through audio: When you set out to push the envelope, sometimes the envelope pushes back.
Dec 18, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? S23Chang: I believe Nikola Tesla was the first string theorist when he said, Resonance is the tune the universe is dancing to.
Dec 17, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Zaikesman:I didnt say that you did; according to E. Whitten its 11 dimensions.So what does String Theory have to do with my audio system; is that your question? Here is a list of conventional electrical engineering precepts which are employed ...
Dec 16, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Sean;No problem, I took your interest as a compliment. What makes copying difficult, on most of the models, the internal structure is bonded together any attempt to disassemble will lead to disaster unless you have sourced the replacement material...
Dec 14, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Sean;Hundreds of dollars to reverse engineer our product? Try thousands of dollars. There are about 45 custom parts that are made by hand and constructed of real exotica. The materials took over a year to source and the few companies that make t...
Dec 13, 2003	Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Eldartford:You are correct the power cord does not change the 60 HZ frequency. However, the PC has its own resonance frequency and the conflict between the two creates a harmonic structure that is passed into the system producing distortion.
