Since the mods cannot merge the threads, let me 'cross-over' to this side of the fence:
gabrieldoremi- Do state the following, so other WS members can replicate/verify your stand:
1- Review equipment you use/used, wherein you claim changing power cords has no effect on the amplifiers, and what powercords you have tried in that set-up. Do state the gauge of the silver wire you used, the brand/source of the silverwire, other components(termination, filters, sheath material, insulation, length, etc) used for the DIY cable you recommend. You can find the specs of the XLO PC I reviewed in the XLO website. I posted in the other forum the associated equipment used when I reviewed the XLO Signature power cords.
2- the 'validating procedures' you use/used to evaluate the power cords and to claim it has no effect on the amps
3- What is the minimum level of 'quality' of equipment/components that a WS member should concentrate on which will provide the sonic difference powercords cannot achieve.
4- verification of your claim by other observers/listeners using the same equipment/set-up at the same time you auditioned the power cords.
I do believe that my request is not 'foolish', but rather sensible and scientific. This will allow the other members of WS to have a better grip on the matter. Replication & validation of the results/test procedures by peers is the cornerstone of any scientific research. I'm sure a lot of us are intrigued and eager to learn the 'mathematical formulas' you refer to as the parameter by which to measure musical excellence. Do enlighten me and other members. I hope you can spare the time to post it either in this thread or the other forum.
