I feel a little embarrassed to ask this question, and I will explain why. Simply, in my 50 plus years at this ( as an audio professional and consumer / hobbyist ), I have opened every amp I have every owned, to do a mod or 2 of some kind ( everyth... 
Skeptic or just plain hard headed
I said early on in this thread that MA cables do need quite a bit of time to break in, as I own some. I cannot explain most things that I hear, but, I hear them. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
prof, you never stated in your earlier posts that you did not hear any differences with the Shunyata cables, although, I assumed it by your writings. Is it possible for me to be wrong ?. Anything is possible, but I have not been wrong that I can r...

George and kosst, you guys really crack me up. It is worth coming here just to read the 2 of you. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
So prof, it seems that you did not hear differences in the pcs you tried. If you did, or thought you did, you doubted yourself as a listener, and claim placedo effect. That is a problem right there, so thanks for clearing that up. Are all of your ... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
From the beginning of time, men, in particular, have argued, combated, debated, etc., stating " mine is bigger ", or " mine is better ". Nothing new. Psychology 101, as I do not have to tell you. This lead me to my statement. And, if you followed ...

Prof, what components in your rig has iec inlets, that you have tried aftermarket cords ? Your CJ Premier 12 monos certainly do not ( which, btw, are not bad cords, as I have dissected a pr. of them with better cords ). I am interested to know, as...

prof….maybe you should do the same as I suggested to N80, but in reverse, as many need to do. Borrow one. Just be happy. We are talking about musical enjoyment in our homes, bringing me to : Enjoy ! MrD.

N80. I am not fond of the power cables your brother in law gave you, but here is an idea. Your preamp and amp have iec inlets, with these upgraded power cords in use at this time. I am sure you have a few " standard " iec power cords, from say a d...

@analogluvr Am I to assume you have joined the other two I mentioned, or to put it another way, just pick a side. @N80, I am in no way being trollish, as you say. Just stating the facts, doc. " The rest of us have to deal with " ? Really ? Are you... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
It amazes me how a subject such as this still continues, and brings such diversity. I have NEVER purchased a pc, ic, fuse, or isolation product, prior to evaluating them. As a member of the professional audio community, I was always able to get " ... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
There was a time when the high end manufacturers did not supply iec power cord inlets ( they were all hot wired ) on their equipment. I have not seen a high end piece as of late that is not equipped with an iec inlet. What does this tell you ? Enj... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Keep in mind, you would need equipment that has an iec connector, unless you are willing and able ( as I have done many times ) to internally rewire the factory cord with an upgraded cord. Most newer equipment has iec inlets, most older pieces do ...

keep this in mind...roberjerman has claimed over and over, that power cables have NO difference in sound, from one to another. Enjoy ! MrD.
