Re: Hi-Fi--SGR speakers anyone?
Good cable admittedly, but is it in fact shielded or is it just a low inductance, low impedance cable? America has problems as the mains voltage is only a nominal 110 volt, which makes it very difficult to run high power amps - half our voltage so they would require four times the current an Australian amp would for the same power out - consequently massive power leads would be essential to minimise voltage drop and one might be justified in spending extra on a power cable, but what are you actually getting for your $1000 US a gold plated plug and socket (no arguments there) and obviously some seriously heavy duty cable (good), however at around $1000 US certainly horribly overpriced but a source of terrific profit for the manufacturer and dealer, if they can convince enough people that they need to pay that much for something that could be achieved for a few tens of dollars!
In Australia, I cant believe multi hundred power lead would make any difference to a good amplifier (i.e. one with a well designed power supply).
Anyway, perhaps we should leave it there this is all about coffee, after all - I will never convince you and you will never convince me. I just dont want people thinking that everyone needs to spend hundreds and thousands on audio equipment to enjoy good quality sound.
