Hi TedOK, I take on board what you say about Jon's "proper" job, but he has set himself up as a cable guru and, as I see it, tends to blind his readers with probably true but irrelevant information about the virtues of the crazy sport of spending daft amounts of hard earned cash on the last few feet of our mains supply cabling. If he is such an expert, I wonder why he doesn't make a living from this expertise. I notice that you have $300-500 cables! I wonder what cable there is between the back of your IEC sockets and the transformers ie the last few inches of AC. Most equipment will use wire no better than what's in the derided OEM cable.
Batteries can, of course be recharged without turning off your 24/7 equipment. You are surely not listening 24/7, so recharge them when you're at work, maybe? My point is that if AC is the monstrous evil we are led to believe it is by the likes of Jon, don't use it - use pure and simple DC and no cable at all, neither OEM nor $1000.
Only my thoughts, of course. It's what we listen to that really counts.
