An argument for fuses and maybe power cables in power amplifier
The why after market power cords make a difference?  Lots of theory... Actual testing using testing equipment? Just my ears. I don’t watch oscilloscope screens or listen to test tones.  Just music, using my ears.                                ... 
An argument for fuses and maybe power cables in power amplifier
                                                   btw:              I'm not disagreeing with any postings, prior to mine, in this thread.              ie: everything in the power supply/AC source is in the signal path*.        *In every gain s... 
An argument for fuses and maybe power cables in power amplifier
     Back in March 2022: a thread about power cords and break/burn-in was started.      I hate to type, so: I'm going to copy/paste some of my speculations.      That a highly complex musical signal, MIGHT affect Poynting vectors and signal spee... 
An argument for fuses and maybe power cables in power amplifier
                                                            A rewind:           Anyone needing a rationale for experimenting with new cables in their system and/or feeling dissuaded by the Church of Denyin'tology's antiquated electrical doctrin... 
A stupid question(s) about power cords
                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                        Another runway builder, to be disregarded!        Enjoy experimenting with your systems and enhanced musical pleasure, @immatthewj  (et al).  I do believe tha... 
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
@dentdog -        KUDOS, to another experimenter, for trusting their ears and senses!                                           Rewarding, isn't it?                                  Enjoy your systems and music!  
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
@ps-       KUDOS, for experimenting with your system's sound/trusting your ears & senses.       Supra follows some of the same basic science/construction as I've mentioned, if you've read their explanation, as to why their PCs sound better* ... 
Meter for measuring cable capacitance
@ajd7531 -        One nice thing about Amazon: if it doesn't work for you, whatever the reason, you can return it.                                      
must you play music to break in tubes
@steakster, @glennewdick & @larryi-                                            +1      Had the conversation with Brent Jessee, years back, about a 40's,Tung-Sol Round Plate.       He had me GENTLY tap the the base, tube held vertically, on ... 
ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords
           WELL: the Cargo Cult's building another runway.                                          Time for a rewind: Cargo cult science is a pseudoscientific method of research that favors evidence that confirms an assumed hypothesis. In con... 
ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords
                                 "substantive facts" ?  Inescapable FACT: No one understands exactly how electricity works.                    That’s why there’s so much Electrical THEORY.            The number of Wiki-Scientists on these pages... 
ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords
@dwcda -  Yet still you’re pissed off at me for documenting these experiences.                                           I am?                                            🤣  
ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords
                                  Now: some for something different:      Back in March 2022: a thread about power cords and break/burn-in was started.      I hate to type, so: I'm going to copy/paste some of my speculations.      That a highly... 
ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords
The companies producing these expensive power cords have no engineering data to corroborate their claims. Therefore Hitchins' Rule applies: That which is asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.             Now: ask yourself, "Sho... 
Meter for measuring cable capacitance
   Here's a cheapo that goes down to .1 pF: https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Capacitance-Capacitor-20000uF-Electroprobe/dp/B07R6MNWPL     At the other end of the $$ spectrum: this will go down to nF and can vary frequencies. https://www.keysight....
