Another long drawn out mains cable argument in the offing me thinks...:popcorn:
A standard cable can supply ten amps. Whatever it is you hear its unlikely to be current delivery that is the issueQuote:

Richard - a standard cable can supply 13A. It doesn't necessarily do it with low impedance, however, especially if you start looking at transient edges where Fourier analysis will tell you that there's quite a lot of high frequencies in there. Enough - I don't profess to understand the mechanism by which one power cable sounds better than another, I can simply tell you that this is the best I've heard, and I've heard a lot of cables including some much more expensive ones (which I used to own).
Nope - not on my watch! :nono:Quote:

In fact this was NOT a drawn out mains cable argument until Thing Fish and Oldpinkman rocked up. The discussion was about MCRU's Ultimate III Cable and the suggestion that I beg, borrow or steal one.
Don't shoot the messenger...:lol:Quote:

Hey. Cut me some slack. I haven't knocked martins views on this mains cable or started an off thread debate. In response to a measurement discussion the others were having I pointed out an obvious measurement point. And whilst I'm here kettle leads with a notch are rated to 13 amps. Standard iecs for hifi only the 10 amps I quoted. None of which need prevent martin from enjoying what he is hearing.
