Ferrite beads have to be used in the right place to be effective but it depends on type of circuit where they are effective.
I'll take a well designed aftermarket power cord any day.
You can make your own that work just as well.I know because we've done it.
Now make your own Ralf..LOL

You can make your own that work just as well.I know because we've done it.Yes and no. If you view my profile, you'll find that I use a mix of DIY and commercial power cords. The better DIY cords are based upon Belden 83803 . They're better than stock but don't touch the Harmonic Tech ones used with the power amps. Tell us about yours and to what you've compared it. Who's we? :)
As for Steve's article, there is precious little there I find that agrees with my experience. Who uses "stranded rubber" cords? Shielding bad? Who cares about RFI anyway , right?
He is, however, welcome to his opinion. Mine follows that of companies like ARC (Sain Line) and VTL (Shunyata) who use shielded aftermarket products in their own evaluation systems.

I agree and that's why I had posted it..When i don't use shielded cable,my systems are susceptible to hum depending on where used.I posted that to show that everyone has an opinion and while he does mention some good things in the article,some of it is open to conjecture.

While I don't suffer hum issues, I find shielding delivers a lower noise floor that allows more transparency.
My power conditioning strategy begins, however, with two dedicated 20A lines.
