Would you please provide some charts indicating distortion measurements with a generic power cord and this magic cord.Would you please provide some guidance as to how such charts might be prepared or what information you think they should provide. WS's review, even if, well, a little flowery, did not claim to provide data or technical explanations.
I didn't realize that there was distortion in power cords to begin with.
There's always distortion in the sine wave of the AC mains that flows through the cord. That really is not a controversial point.
Even if one assumes (controversially . . .) that the cord under test is a perfect conductor or, more realistically if a tad tautologically, that its imperfections can safely be ignored, there's a great deal more distortion to be seen the moment it is plugged into almost any real-world electronic device. Regulatory authorities the world over seek to limit that distortion (even if, the next moment, they permit powerline networking).
A sizeable sector of the electronics industry addresses the issue with fancy filters, ferrites and much else besides. Now why would it do that?
Hmmm..
Quite.

The moderators feel that allowing this thread to continue, even though it may hold useful information, will wind up creating more trouble than it solves, and thereby detract from the purpose of this forum.This is not the appropriate venue for discussion of this matter, and we ask that those with an interest in the subject, take it elsewhere (e.g. private e-mail).
No further follow-ups will be considered.
Thank you for your support of the Asylum.
