This is TrevC, you're talking about? *unknw*

 

[ellisdj]

Deaf you mean

Good point

 

[TrevC]

Its all about clean power TrevC even an 82 yr old can hear it

You don't listen to the mains. In quality equipment all traces of the mains are eliminated so the quality of it is therefore irrelevant, not that pieces of wire can affect it anyway.

In my experience pieces of wire can matter as much as the kit - i.e. the kit doesnt sound very good until its connected with the right wire and I am talking very good kit.

You are mistaken if you think mains wires can affect sound quality.

Don't try to go to Australia, or you'll FALL OFF THE EDGE!!!

I realise I am going deaf, but my heaing used to be excellent. Daft is worse than deaf. Daft is wasting money on silly things like bits of wire, things that can't possibly make any difference at all over and above a good well made connection and cable fit for purpose. But please, don't take my word for it. Ask anyone with electronics knowledge.

It has been demonstrated that the earth is a sphere, just as it has been demonstrated that mains wires have no effect on performance.

Or all your pre-conceived ideas might stand on their head. ;-)

But to close one's mind to any alternative is almost – well, religious.

Wrong, it's actually an oblate spheroid.... ;-)

Not a perfect sphere, a bit like many's biased opinions.

Should I open my mind to the possibility that the earth is flat, or that things that can't possibly make any difference might?

I have facts to back me up.

Yet still you persist in voicing them, Mr pedant.

If one never opens one's mind, and instead sticks to the established orthodoxy, there would never be any discoveries.

Perhaps, but we are talking audiophool fantasy here, not science. Audiophoolery is anti-science. They 'listen' to mains wires and plugs, the loons.

I guess 'burn the witch!' was about the answer I was expecting. Oh well!

Non sequitur. To burn someone as a witch is irrational and unscientific, as is the belief that bits of wire that cost a fortune work better that correctly specified wire that doesn't.

Crimson, got to get your facts straight for TrevC.... ;-)

I refer the honourable gentleman to the script. They may just seem crimson due to the cables being used.

Apologies, I was watching in black and white. ;-)

However Monty got it wrong... a Cardinals robes are crimson (the colour of blood).
