Steve's designs do take the majority of those factors into account.Steve's statements, cut-and-pasted in the prior post, address the design issues for *his* power cords, and how they interface with power supplies. The statement does not directly address VHF or UHF issues (with his power cords), nor their relevance to their usage with power line regenerators/conditioners. If his designs "take the majority of those factors into account" as you say, they are not taking *all* of those factors into account. Hence my post. His products are well-regarded, and he can certainly speak for himself. He has nothing he need defend. Steve himself can address the "other" factors I addressed, if he so wishes.
How effective they are at dealing with them versus other designs is anybody's guess.
As always, the in-home audition will ferret out whether a design is compatible with one's equipment. There is no substitute.
None the less, i felt that someone should make mention of this lest Empirical products get "blasted" as if they were under-designed, which they aren't.
I truly hope you are not inferring, in_any_way, that I am "blasting" his designs. That would not only be a mischaracterization of what I actually stated, but a mischaracterization of my intent. I've NEVER commented on his designs, nor their efficacy.
They simply represent what Steve thinks is necessary to achieve the levels of performance that he finds desirable.
Obviously. Every audio designer wishes to achieve that, and have customers agree.
This is no different than any other product that actually has a skilled engineer designing them.
What *is* different, however, is that many "skilled" engineers have differing paths to the same goal, whether it be cable designers or amplifier designers. And whether a designer is a "skilled" engineer does not guarantee a successful design, and especially not a fulfilled design. Witness the version 2's, 2a's, 3.5's, etc. etc. etc. You stated that yourself.
