I'll let the sales-shack marketing carry on as it was before i entered this thread. I'll just say that i guess i would be bitter & upset if someone were publicly questioning the necessity of a product that i made and others like it, especially...

Don't know about Woot, but all the gearheads know that WOT means "Wide Open Throttle" : ) Sean> 
Beatles "Butcher Cover" on Antiques Road Show
Thanks 4yanx. Now i know what all the fuss was about. I can see why folks would have been in an uproar, especially way back then. Maybe the Beatles really were the devil in disguise : ) Sean> 
Beatles "Butcher Cover" on Antiques Road Show
I've read about the "butcher cover" before, but don't think i've ever seen one. Can someone provide a link to a picture on the web? I'm curious to see what all of the hoopla was about. Sean>

Michael: Until you can get rid of / suppress the noise and interference on the line, you'll never have a "neutral" power cord. That's because the impedance and design of the cord itself will introduce varying levels of filtering / wave-shaping dis...

Flex: My comments, while possibly less than ultimately clear, did not pertain to swapping gear so much as "fixing what was already there". That is, instead of investing in cabling, invest in filtration. As a side note note, there's a lot more to l... 
Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables?
I agree Albert. After reading a thread like the one that Trelja started and thinking about the other disasters and turmoil that is taking place in Florida and other places around the world, all of this is petty bullshit. My heart goes out to those... 
Is it worth spending $10k on CD-only player today?
Not to me. Then again, i wouldn't pay that much for any type of source component. Sean>

It amazes me that people will pay hundreds / thousands of dollars for some wire / cabling rather than invest that into correcting the problems in the gear that they have and / or getting rid of the problem at the AC source. Isn't this kind of like... 
Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables?
Twl: You should contact Berning, Lowther, Sonoran, etc... and see if they just threw parts together at random till they got something that worked and shoved them out the door or if they actually did some R&D with test equipment to arrive at th...

Ernie: Dielectric Absorption ( DA ) takes place to a far greater extent as frequency rises. This makes it a non-linear distortion because it doesn't absorb all frequencies at the same rate. As such, one can turn the drawbacks of DA into an actual ... 
Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables?
Robert: Many of the points that you bring up are valid. On others, i could respond point by point and waste my time, your time and that of anyone else that read it. Rather than do that, i'll keep it short and respond to two statements that you mad...
