Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

RE: I don't think it was trickery...

I posted the link and my limited experience with power cords, hoping that someone more articulate would post on Waldrep's site.

If you read the comments, most are fans of Waldrep, and drag out the old lines about all the wiring to your house is not special, so why would the last cord matter. Those of us that use power conditioners tend to believe that the power cord does have an effect on sound.

Down near the end of the comments, Waldrep is now referring to cables as snake oil. What gets me is that most people who will buy his music are going to be audiophiles. He is dismissing his customers as being hoodwinked.

As to the demo he refers to, I do find it suspicious that the guy used different tracks. I have been to one audio show and that was in 1999,the Sony demo of SACD was poorly done. I wonder if some doing demos do manipulate them, knowing that all the ambient noise won't allow people to hear the very real differences. At home, in my system I can hear the differences. The thing is that they aren't always for the better. I proved that to myself with two very different diy power cords. The simpilar cord I think a Crump cord sounded better than a more complex design.

Like I said, it would be good if some of our cable guys would post some knowledge over at Waldrep's comment section.
