Power Cables
I just measured the drop across the 5.5 foot original power cord on my 1964 Scott 222D Integrated Amp.  and found it to be 0.2Volts [120.8VAC at the outlet and 120.6VAC at the circuit side of the power fuse. This is with 18guage lamp cord!

Why do folks insist that "Power Cables" need to have a bandwidth equal to that of a very high-spec amplifier’s audio bandwidth? Are you people INSANE? We are talking about 60Hz AC here!If your power cords are carrying Khz range signals or noise th...
