right, like that is less of a crock.

Not that I'm aware of. My uncle is a huge audiophile and he owns one (granted he paid more than ~$100 for the one he has) and he showed me. He played a CD he had, then ran it through the machine, then played it again. It was clearer. Hell, it may be psychological, but if it makes me THINK it's clearer, that's good enough for me.

:laugh:

Are you serious?

Pretty damn. We'll have to wait for a true audiophile to chime to debunk this or not.

My mother-in-law would be interested in one. Seriously.

There's nothing to debunk, this is absolutely retarded. If you pay much cash for a CD player that doesn't have a transport buffer you're a retard superstar.

Did your uncle touch the cd when he puts it in the cd player? If so, any static on the cd would have transfered off either the cd player or your uncle. Think about your car and that static zap when you are wearing some shoe that insulates static. You discharge through the car. Same would happen to the CD, except the discharge is to you or the cd player. Both of you are grounded.

LOL, reminds me of my father in law when I told him he could reuse flash cards for his new digital camera

But wouldn't this happen every time? How can you explain the noticeable difference? This guy doesn't just buy random stuff because he heard it's cool; he tests all this hardware and cables and stuff before buying them. He's the kind of guy who will spend several hundred dollars on a power cable for his amp.

I trust his judgement.

Judgement is exactly the wrong thing to trust. Scientific instruments and proper use you can trust. And people spending hundreds of dollars for power cable are exactly the ones that you can trust their judgment least.

Any decent EE will tell you all the power problems are handled at the power input stage before they can reaches the electronics. Of course, this would exclude power surge.

Think about this. That several hundred dollars worth of power cable is a very short piece of cable compared to the path traveled by the power all the way from the generation plant.

Plus everyone in your neighbourhood are on the same grid. Everyone has at least 1 noisy (electrically) appliance (fridge, or hair dryer). Where do you think all that noise is? It's on the whole grid.

BTW, several hundred dollars is probably more than Romex wiring for the whole house of cost. And what is your uber power cable connected to? The 12/3GA Romex. Assuming your theory of power cable making a difference, wouldn't the section before that power cable already reduce the 'quality' of power before it reaches your uber-power cord?


P.S. Here is a quick search of Romex

http://electrical.hardwarestor...lding-wire-640489.aspx

250' 10GA, 3 conductor Romex is 350 bux...

Normal houses use 12GA. 220bux... http://electrical.hardwarestor...opper-wire-654697.aspx

this stuff is cheaper when you buy a 1000' reel.

I am not personally attacking you or your uncle... but there are plenty of people with a great deal of knowledge and skill in a certain area that still have some farfetched beliefs...
