Keeping it real - I am, of course, talking about above average use with standard 120V or 240V household use, not for a mega volt, industrial complex.I do believe there are differences in cables and cords, not always for the better...Jim | |

I was a master machinist and field tech for one of the worlds largest electronic, manufacturing/supply corporations, who sold high grade electronics (everything from giant electrical transformers, to switching gear, to industrial grade outlets, ca... | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. @maxima95 Very interesting - I have a friend that is the head purchasing agent for our area's largest medical center. I'll ask if they use that, or anything similar expensive power conditioning units, along with $3,000.00 power cords in their faci... | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. @ boxer12 It doesn't matter! It's all the same science. Regardless of the application.

| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. Not one single industry, aside from elite members of the audiophile clan, use, or would use $10,000.00 pr Meter cables.

| Which Nakamichi to choose? @bstbomber I agree regarding the Nak. ZX-9. Truly a wonderful machine.I bought a ZX-9 new, back in the 80s and loved everything about it. It made perfect recordings and play back of all of my favorite LPs and gave many years of flawless service.Af... | |
