Yeah cutting out the EMI from the last metre, ignoring the 100+km agross
the grid, always struck me as kinda pointless.
I DIY'd my mains cables. It's always satisfying to build something
yourself, and you mind less when the interesting experiment that shows
you can't hear any difference cost

Are A B switched randomly every time you play?
Edit: Well, I was too impatient, so I learned that indeed A and B are
always the same. In other words, don't take this test until you really
want to hear it on a good system. Otherwise, once you know the answer,
it's basically useless.

Pity about the newspaper style percentage. If something costs you $15,
and you direct retail it for $300, that's 95% profit, not 2,000%.
If you think different, then you are the corporate tax man's friend,
and I'm not employing you to do my company's accounts :)))

This should be a non-issue in the UK and the States (recent wiring), as
we have non-reversible mains plugs/sockets, and there is a standard way
of wiring live and neutral.
In Continental Europe, however, this is an issue, as the type C plug is
reversible, and so you often have no way of knowing

In my experience it's very common to find outlets with reversed
polarity here in the US. So
I'm British but live in the US. Whilst the sockets in my house are
non-symmetrical and I have seen some plugs with one blade larger than
the other, the majority are symmetrical and will fit in the socket
either way around (this includes the SB PSU as it happens). I'm no

The issue in AC powered audio equipment is usually leakage-to-ground.
This is caused by, among other things, inter-winding capacitance in the
power transformers and capacitors in mains-entry filters. In the old
days, when everything was connected using 2-prong mains plugs,
sometimes one could

What is the problem here? Sticking some valves across the o/p is going
to make it sound different for sure...and some people will prefer that
sound which is fine. But it is not better in any absolute sense -
although this profit margin that you are arguing on is completely
wrong, it excludes 2 incredibly important factors that determine the
commodity value: labor and technology (im not claiming that the cable
is high tech, but technology is involved in the production). Without

I agree. Srajan should have had a stock TP on hand as a reference.

I'd say it depends on the music you are listening to. Eurotrash: no
difference (actually 24kbit sounds the best) Jazz: 192VBR or 320CBR are
not enough. Listen to the decaying cymble with headphone/good speakers.
Choral/orchestral works: only FLAC 24/96 is acceptable.
