Hi Eric,Quotes per request:
"There's a reason that the XLO cord can be had so cheaply in the used market, it stinks."
Many of those cheaply priced XLO Reference 2 Type 10A power cords found in Audiogon and eBay are DIY builds using XLO's discontinued model 10A bulk cable product available for DIY termination. The bargain price is not because the cable “stinks†in your opinion. I would like to think that I don't advocate nor use cables that fit that descriptor.
"Do you think the fact that the XLO Ref. 2 type 10A is lacking in the midrange might have affected the outcome of your listening test?? ...It's lack of full-scale midrange dynamics, and its' 'whitened' coloration overall, make it a pretty poor subject for a comparison of AC connectors, don't you think?"
A "pretty poor subject" for evaluation purposes? I think not. If the cable sucks as much as you say it does, by implication this would mean I'm a pretty poor judge of cables and my credibility as a cable evaluator would be greatly diminished in AA. Perhaps I should be ashamed of myself for misleading folks? If you are insensitive to this issue, I have nothing else to say other than allow a man his dignity, please.
Furthermore, I don’t agree with the accusations you state regarding my posting personally offensive replies. I've been rather polite towards you, all things considered, IMHO.
Regards, Duster
