Now it’s blindingly obvious how to balance it out. The myopia is real.

Great video Mikey! I'm looking forward to the comparo, what you hear, what you learn and to see the evolution of your own cables as a result.

I do see one potential benefit of using ribbon wire. It would reduce the skin effect, so AC impedance would not go up as much with frequency. But that would be measurable, maybe 1 db at 20 KHz. It wouldn't do much for 60 Hz power, and usually this is done for RF. It's why a lot of automobiles use woven flat cable for grounds from a hood to a chassis of a car for example. It's great for grounding RF.

exactly@@OCDHIFiGuy you have no idea what I know mate but let me tell you this, when people like yourself start claiming things like an overly engineered and overly expensive Cable WILL make a difference to sound quality when in fact it can not due to physics,(and if you knew anything about electronics you would simple agree and understand what actually happens with conductive elements and electricity) it gets old, It is damaging to the sport of wanting a good quality system. I'll explain, lets say a person is wanting to get into the hobby and is looking for the best sound for not too much money. it is hard to pick sometime due to there being a lot of choices and not the ability to compare every single possible option, it's not like buying a guitar where you can go to a store and sit and play all the guitars in the shop so you walk away with a much more educated point of view and can make a much better decision. What does an amp really sound like? it takes a carful comparison test to hear the difference between 2 amps, if the test is even possible for this person shopping? most times the gear is not able to even be played in store any more or at best in a limited way. then think about the other components needed to put together a good system, and think about how much each component effects the sound, then you people come along and add false opinions to the mix by suggesting a power cable will change the sound and different speaker cables sound different.........bullshit! it does not, you know it and the rest of the cable pushing nut jobs know it, do you know how I know? Because I had conducted extensive electronic measured tests when I was doing my advanced electronic engineering diploma at Chisholm institution melbourne, and do you want to know what happens in the world of electronics and physics? the only real world measurable differences where in frequency ranges 3 time that of human hearing, totally impossible for any human to detect and most likely almost impossible for any audio equipment to reproduce. we are talking a starting frequency of 75khz and an attenuation of only +/-3db @ this level it goes off the chart from this point depending on the construction of the cable and the materials used and the length of it but it is ALL in a realm of "IT MAKES NO AUDIBLE DIFFERENCES"! Where I would see any variations in the lower "human hearing"range say up to 20khz, it would be less than +/-0.03db, impossible for the human ear to detect, it is even difficult for electronic measuring devices to detect and they are thousands of times more sensitive than the human ear. Now with power cables, unless you use bridge rectifiers to smooth out the incoming signal and a high and low pass filter using electrolytic capacitor and resistors tuned to the frequency you wish to attenuate, leaving in most cases 50-60hz pass through, you are not going to get a difference out of a piece of cable, cable no matter what it is made of will not do this task in an electrical circuit and in this case used as a power transmission line. inside your electronic equipment these circuits exist. it's in your power transformer circuit, I assume you know how a transformer works? and how a rectifier circuit works and what diode turn on voltages are and how they work. all electronic equipment has these circuits due to the need for different voltages across the whole circuit. If you are still wanting to "Clean" up the power flowing into your equipment from your wall socket then a simple power conditioner containing the above mentioned circuits will do this, if you are concerned about the power spikes and possible damage it might do to your equipment the a power conditioner will usually include a circuit breaker and a Metal Oxide Varistor across all terminals but it will need a fuse too just incase it fails short, most of the time they are made to fail open but you don't want to risk it over a $0.20 fuse.

I just get bugged when they know so well how to use the placebo effect to sell it to unsuspecting people. A lot of hi end audio is looks, that's fine. Look at speakers, how the boxes have changed, but the drivers are essentially unchanged since invented. But with my background in electricity and audio I know it's a physical impossibility for a 6 foot cord to do anything but transfer raw power from the wall to the device. I myself have experienced placebo many times and it's amazing how real it seem's and how easily our brain fools us. I've also made cords from everything from zip cord to fancy twisted, shielded,and so on. The power at the end of the cord is the same. Even if, and I say IF there was a slight difference the internal power supply negates it.

$12K? Is is solid silver? Then maybe... ($22/oz)(16 oz/lb)(17 lb) = $5984 Besides, wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to extend your outlet box next to the equipment using wire and conduit, then use a shorter, say 1' cable length? Or does there have to be a minimum length of esoteric power cable to see any results? If it was me I would spend the money on dedicated isolated ground circuits, and use a decent quality power cable. What you did with a separate power panel, and multiple grounds makes more sense to me. And then I would use a bank of batteries with an online UPS that continuously recharges the batteries, and a high level converter to create the 120V AC from the chemically isolated battery banks. That takes all of the other house and utility wiring out of the equation. In other words, you have a buffer of electricity stored as a chemical reaction, and you are creating your clean power on demand. Have you looked at isolation transformers? It's what a lot of medical equipment uses to get clean power.

coked up cables.

Unshielded are generally better because they do not steer the sound in a FAKE hifi way. But saying that, is of course assuming that you then use high quality materials. Try and use a double pull on the power cable minus pole like I suggest in my videos, that gives you a lot more control/power/good timing. Also try a 50cm and a 100cm and a 200cm version of the same cable. (3 totally different sounds, where the shorter ones have a lot more focus and attack)

Some say hydroelectric power-plants are better for natural sound.. and some say nuclear power-plants produce more responsive bass.. :) ... Next they will discuss the sound of plutonium fuel versus uranium fuel ..

Meanwhile the electricity that feeds this cable just went though $5.25 circuit breaker and 50 cent/ft. wire. You will never find any $12,000 on up power cords in any musician's or studio equipment arsenal . They just do not exist. The musicians who make the music that you all listen to would laugh at any person or company who tried to sell them a $500 power cable let alone a $12,000 cable to make their music gear sound better. These "boutique" companies are cable decorators. They make pretty looking cables for people who have the $12,000 to buy pretty looking cables. There are people out there who will purchase these cables because they cost $12,000 and these companies know it.

Lol, such snake oil. Show me the double blind study that shows a 12k power cable makes a damn difference. Total placebo. What about the Romex and generic power cable between your wall outlet and the power station?

Oh Jesus do I have to go through this again ? Think of the power cord is a filter it doesn't matter how shady the AC is until it gets to that power cord power cord filters out interference and noise that's riding on the AC line. 12 K yeah that's questionable I don't agree with it. I don't really see any power cord being worth more than 5K. Once you have $100,000 system then you'll understand the importance of a power cord that cost 4 or 5K. This is because your gear is as sensitive as medical instruments. You won't hear it on a Sony receiver.

@OCD HI-Fi Guy I'm not ignorant to your reasoning or lacking the physics background to understand it. I just think it is about as rigorously scientific as reiki crystals. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not appeal to authority gatekeeping. Show the measurements,, the double blind tests that demonstrate it is anything more than placebo effect. Something verifiable and repeatable. I could go on and on why I think it is bunk, but quite frankly, I don't need to. Burden of proof is on the claimant, not the skeptic. Especially when you are the one selling cables... Thanks for the videos, very entertaining.

Why are people paying this kind of money for a power cord? This is ridiculous. Go to audioholics and check out the measurements, science is king. You do realize the stress of these heavy cables are putting on the back of the equipment that your using them on right? Your plugging your equipment into an outlet that is 20 amps max. 12 gauge romex is rated at 12 amps, why do people think they need something that is so oversized for the task. It's so unnecessary and overpriced that it's mind blowing people pay this kind of money. Placebo effect is real folks.

Someone needs a woman.
