You're really grasping at straws.

Tom has shot down you're contentions about common grounds, but you don't give up. Most significantly, you haven't shown controlled testing to show that power cords (and some other things) make an audible difference in a sensible application.

You are reduced to saying that, maybe, with more controls in a different test, audible differences *might* show up. But this no one denies, not RBNG, not me, not jj. What is singularly lacking is positive results.

All you can appeal is worthless anecdotal evidence.

"Why would Carl Marchisotto, Luke Manley, Jud Barber, Roger West, et. al. or any other non-cable manufacturer use something other than *perfect* zip cord?"

It's up to them and other cable proponents to tell us why. I can certainly think of all sorts of possible reasons--biased perceptions, wishful thinking, etc. If you complain about blind tests that have been done, well, sighted tests are worthless for establishing audible differences where the differences are near threshold, though they are a way of forming preferences.
