| 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.... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @vuch, @tom2015, @kerrybh, @ghdprentice, @krelldog, @audphile1 - +1 (each) Understanding the plethora of variables we face in improving the performance of our systems, using common sense... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords No one can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new addition. There are simply too many variables. LIKEWISE: no one can possibly know whether a new addition (ie: some kind of disc, cr... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @ps- What came first- the, "Yeah, but...", or: the troll? | |
| Full loom of the same cable brand vs mixing and matching. @kennymacc - As a matter of fact, I currently use three different brands of cables in my audio system with excellent results. DITTO: Synergistic Research for my Main, monoblo... | |

| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @wesheadley (et al)= Nothing but further Dunning-Kruger runway builders. Worthy of nothing but a short snort of derision and being disregarded. Give their ilk an opportunity at a bit of education and they respond ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @wesheadley - Unless there was something very wrong with your last power cord, or it was just a very poorly made one, you're not going to here any differences other than those that occur within your own mind via confirmation bias. ... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @classicrockfan & @botrytis - Once again: Isn't it amusing: someone that doesn't even know what Physics considers the best electrical conductor, has the unmitigated gall to mention Science? ... | |
| Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer! ...prepare your home for potential power grid meltdown. People lived in cold climates before electricity. I'm all about having a generator/home power source, in the event of a power outage. However: if what you're dependent on is no... | |
| Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer! Don't know if this has been covered, in all of the above rhetoric, but: The closer one lives to the North Pole (for this event), the greater the effect of the electromagnetic disturbances. ie: Possible blown grid transformers/power... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? Should have called the cable company. Try before you buy! EXACTLY! There are also a number of other cable manufacturers and purveyors that allow a listening period and return policy, if ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @squared80 (et al)- Enjoy your snake oil. Anyone who says high priced power cords or speaker wire changes the sound is lying, ignorant, or a victim of confirmation bias. Another rerun, since so many of you are a waste of keystroke... |
