General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

The fact that I'm being a jerk...

does not mean you get away with failing to explain THIS statement:

"These power cords aren't really up to the task at hand, especially since the AC lines are so heavily polluted in highly populated areas."

So, please define for us what exactly constitutes this important "task at hand" and why audiophile cables are "up to this task" and why stock cables are not.

That's not asking for the moon is it? Your "explanation" of why AC cables are important stops with that statement - it's as if the meat of your explanation fell off the end there. It's one hell of an introductory paragraph to a thesis on the subject, but a definitive technical explanation it is not.

I mean, you've "been there done that" with this theory, and have 1000+ posts on the subject. So now that you are an authority on the subject, you may be required (from time to time) to simply refer to the "cable science" you are well versed in.

Let's start with how stock cables can't deal with line noise NOT caused by local sources of RFI, and how Audiophile cables CAN. Because it sounds like you are supporting the "water filter theory", that AC cables don't just keep out noise, they can clean up what's aleady there.

Looking forward to a more definitive explanation...

Cheers,
Presto
