Suppose you "eliminate" the power cord? - rkw 01:35:42 02/14/07 (7)

No, because the power cord is a resonator. - Al Sekela 13:21:07 02/14/07 (3)

Pity the audiophile who trusts his/her ears, eh? - bjh 07:14:13 02/13/07 (39)

But audiophiles rarely do that. . They read positive reviews first ...and then are biased when they audition a component - Richard BassNut Greene 07:38:36 02/13/07 (38)

Still no answer to the real question. - markrohr 09:58:46 02/14/07 (7)

You don't "evaluate" power cords, you just say whatever you feel like saying about them - Richard BassNut Greene 07:12:32 02/15/07 (3)
