RE: GargOyle... Hows wire direction shaping up for you ??

"Electron flow is a matter of inches in AC.
So the foot or so of the LAST wire
is very important, not the past mile."

Hmmm...something not quite right there, I think. You then have to ask why are those electrons near the amplifier moving back and forth like that. It is because of the electrons further back "upstream" moving back and forth...and so on, all the way back to the power station, substation, or whatever.

It would be easier perhaps to analyse it if one had a specific statement as to what the alleged deficiency was in the "unsuitable" power cord. But it would, I think, be generally fallacious to say that such a deficient section of wire would have less effect if it were a bit further "upstream," more distant from the amplifier. Just because the electrons sloshing back and forth in that particular bit of wire aren't the ones that slosh through the power transformer in the amplifier doesn't make the section of wire they are in any less important.
