But you've never heard it. How can you say that it doesn't work simply by invoking the laws of physics and employing simple logic?

Because I'm always right. As far as I know.

Yeah, Mark, but look at that tempting length discount; if you need 2 meters it's only $549. These things fall into the "sucker born every minute" category. Power cords that, for example, have no problem with 1500 watts or so for a hair dryer running at full blast nevertheless "choke" far lower power to audio equipment.
Ken was of course poking fun at the line of some audiophiles that not only should you "trust your ears", it's mandatory that you try it and do so if you expect them to pay any attention; mere decades of well-established audio principles can be dismissed. One problem is that when the only situation that allows actually trusting only the ears, i.e. a blind listening test, is proposed or discussed, they have about as much enthusiasm for it as a vampire for sunlight.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

It's all about that last 6 feet though... 14ga romex is good enough to carry a full 15 amps TO the outlet, but you'd better have something expensive between the wall and receiver.

Joe - your bias is obvious and apparent. So much so that you failed to mention the fantastic deal being offered, for a limited time only...

Does that come in a GFI version? I need one for my bathroom since my hair dryer had been leaving my hair dull and lifeless recently. Could be the weather, but it's more likely the cheap outlet.
