That $6K is absolutely 'off the wall'. It is unbelievable that any business would even market something like that let alone find audiophiles actually willing to buy it.I know there are some strange effects in high-end audio. Although I have extensive background in electronics and electrical power distribution design, I can not explain why 2 conductors of THHN #12 stranded wire did sound different than cheap #12 2-conductor speaker wire. The speaker wire shrunk the size of the soundstage.
I think I will market my own power station. I will take a 1800 rpm syncro-motor and run a 120vac generator for a perfect sinewave. Its called a dynamotor. Guaranteed perfect 60hz waveform. Being noisy, I will make available a sound reduction enclosure that installs remote to the listening room. 1.8 peak kilowatt output with a 1.5kw average, it plugs in to a standard 120vac @ 20 amp outlet. Only $4k. Any takers?
