I would never buy UL listed power cords because I don't want to pay more money for something that doesn't improve the sound at all...it is snake-oil, there is something wrong with the skeptics.
Would you buy a car with seatbelts and airbags? They don't make the car go any faster.
I have much more important things to do with my time than to chase down things like that.
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?

At the moment, I'm quite upset with Virtual Dynamics (Rick Schultz in particular) but for an entirely different and completely justifiable reason (that has nothing to do with product quality or performance). Virtual Dynamics is falling apart at the seams; if they keep up their cavalier attitude towards customers, there won't be a Virtual Dynamics around to speak of in 2009. They managed to lose a good customer I brought them, which in turn cost me commission.
(Emphasis added.)
Were you earning commissions without revealing yourself to be a Member of the Trade?
Do you still work for Virtual Dynamics?
