Cables, a case history of an Agnostic

Are Sony SACD Machine Owners Crazy??

Dielectric?
Ernie, I think you are on to something. With the, count them 23 pills I take each an every day to keep me alive I'd guess moving my hand would change my body/ sound. Maybe I should start taking my blood pressure during listening to help understand... 
Cables that cost more than the speakers?
Oh my Mr. builder dude. I must have touched a nerve, two "new members" with such strong reactions. I guess msn.com has alot of like minded people who just happen to tune in now. I can see your pissed but you could use your own name next time, but ... 
Cables that cost more than the speakers?

How can power cords make a difference?
Mmccoy, that's a tough question in that I've found a $500 cord (BMI Whale) has bettered quite a few $1500-2000 cords. I've also found on certain equipment a $3000 cord is so much better that it's worth finding at a lesser price. Not only are some ... 
Dielectric?
Great post Al, and welcome. You are correct that all I did was to rub my hand over maybe 50% of the length of the cables. I have two cables, but only for bi-amping so two wires are in each cable. I wanted to share my experience because it's simple... 
Dielectric?
Would it make sence that a high K or larger potential storage would be benifitial to a power cord, allowing for a greater discharge potential during extreme current demands? 
Dielectric?
Thanks Redkiwi for picking up on what I'm trying to learn here. All my electronics books were written just after the discovery of electricity, back in my collage days, so I'm at a considerable loss. They talk about dielectric constants Ke and diel...

How can power cords make a difference?
