| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? Douglas,The reason I posted the article was less about OFC and more about the fact that the last 6 feet shouldn't make a difference considering how far power has actually traveled and through its various mediums, i.e. different wiring to get to yo... | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? Douglas,From your post: (and not to get into a pissing match)"It really does seem counter-intuitive, but I wholeheartedly subscribe to the "Front End Influence" theory that high quality power cords must be used if one is going to have a fighting c... | |
