@jjss49 -                             "zu’s are very nice cords and very flexible"      It’s amazing to me: they were able to configure two 9 AWG conductors, plus an 8 AWG ground, in a 3/8" diameter PC, that’s even more flexible than the typical... 
Do good power cords have to be stiff?
     Don’t know if Zu has replaced the Mother, in their lineup, but: I found it an excellent PC and VERY flexible (critical, given my present component/cable configuration).      Currently: they supply my BAT VK-D5 CDP, phono pre, TacT 2.2X, Cary...

How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?”
     "So...I certainly get the attitude "I don’t bother looking for realism, it’s an impossible goal and I just want to hear whatever the recording sounds like and I’m happy."      But those of us who still use real life sound as a sort of north... 
Would my system benefit from cable upgrades?
Once again:       NO ONE can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to new/improved interconnects.   There are simply too many variables.      The only way you’ll know for certain, is try them for yourself.      The lea... 
Controlling vibration of woofer baskets
     Mortite has always worked for me, whether for damping turntables, metal cabinets, speaker frames, or- whatever.      Never falls off, when applied to a clean, smooth surface and: easy to remove, without leaving anything behind. https://www....

@dweller -           "What? No earrings?" (maybe: $9.99 and up, depending on stones)      How about: Immersive Crystalline Regalia Aural Augmentation Pod Tuning (ICRAAPT) for $2999.99 and up, depending on MY stones?                         btw:...

Doesnt resistance mean same as impedance??
     Correction:  Not my, "initial post", but: the two I made 01-08.      However (beyond that simple wire): as the reference materials in my second post on 01-08 and my last post mention*: resistor values also fluctuate, with changes in voltage,...
