RE: Audiophile Grade Power Cord Color Codes

Tireman2012,

Thanks again..., doing further research into said matters, it seems age has in fact caught up to me | as I missed the markings on both plugs | yet was able to at least wire the IEC Female end correctly, as losing my focus responding to my wife after having set the original gold plated brass off to the side | it seems I should've put on my glasses, which never seem to make it out of our bedroom | as it seems I'm in denial that my eyes aren't what they used to be.

With that being said..., it was a matter of remembering the black wire is called Live " L " or " Hot ", making it easier ( common sense really ) to than know the other two colors. And finding a photo of this brand of plugs was a blessing in itself.

Your willingness to assist will not go unnoticed | I'll set aside a seat for you in my centrally aired dedicated listening room in Heaven, let's say we meet up in another 3-4 decades from now ( yeah right ), but know it has to be Heaven | because I don't do heat, so that other place is out of the question.

'Til then.
