We have been down this road before.

Someone offered to purchase a power cord up to $2k for bigshot to try, he turned it down do to his amp not having a removable power cord.

Would you buy a car with seatbelts and airbags? They don't make the car go any faster.

Sure ya do... like sit here and rip on products you've never listened to.

And if it's true that your amp doesn't have a removable power cord, why wouldn't you have just said that in the first place? (Of course that still has nothing to do with you being obstinate.)

But you have time to make 5000+ posts about cables being snake-oil?

They managed to lose a good customer I brought them, which in turn cost me commission.

Were you earning commissions without revealing yourself to be a Member of the Trade?

Do you still work for Virtual Dynamics?

Hmmm... I listened to my Testament 2.0 Coaxial Digital cable and it really does make a difference.

Perhaps its only the VD power cables that are built this way?

IPodPJ works in an audio store... It's his job to recommend equipment to clients. I doubt he's earning commission from VD.

Correction: IPodPJ does not work in an audio store and never has! I had mistaken him for someone else.
