Now then, on to the cables. Do the cables look bitchin"? No, really. For me a cable is a cable. It either carries the signal or it does not. But looks? Ahhhh...That is where subjectivity reigns supreme because everyone understands that looks matter.

These High Fidelity power cords sure look bitchin to me:

I suppose because you think it "looks bitchin" is one of the few legitimate reasons to use an after-market power cord.

@Jason Stoddard,
Dear mister Stoddard,
Can you please put the AC connection of our gear on the front of it so we can actually see our AC cables?

Just turn it around. Voila! The power switch is now also front-mounted and the LED isn't as bright. Magic!

Hmmm...Why not? I doubt a normal power cable does any thing to improve sound. If the looks appeal to the buyer and they want and can afford some thing, why not?

Another reason to buy a different power cord is if you are a handicapable individual and you trip over the cord while trying to neatify the back side of your stereo stuff and in spite of it being a detachable device, you bung it up. Yup. I have done that. So I bought a new one. It looks the same except the jacket (is that the proper electrical termification?) is thicker so it is not exactly bitchin' but then neither am I.

If I had not been such a gimp, I would still have the OEM jobbie. If it was on one of my older receives, I would have messed up more than the cable on those are hard wired inside the unit. At least mine are.

Very nice!

Are those yours?

Edit: Never mind, the caffeine finally kicked in and I found the link!

It makes digital sound analog and its cryo treated to -300C silly.

I modified one end to power my $11.95 alarm clock radio and it sounds amazing.

Ah yes.
How could I forget that.

If and when you ever test it on your toaster, can we have a review here?
Please?!?!

Would that be a Tice clock by any chance?

If so, I bet "ticks" no longer sound like "tocks" and vice versa. Musicalifragelisticexpealidocious...I have a digital clock right about head level where I sit here in this room.

I will be in hell for that one, I know.

But was it enough to make you want to get out of bed...

Pffft. Everyone knows that one only needs to achieve absolute zero for digital to sound analog. -300C is excessive! Plus, if your speaker cables, interconnects, or the internal wiring of your speakers or headphones is not cryo treated, then the analog sounding digital would revert to digital sounding analog nullifying any benefit of this power cable. Silly, indeed!!

Pietro,

I once was bringing up DIY two SS amplifiers I had built and power resistors were not in my budget so I used a toaster for a load. I was driving the amp with a sine wave and the problem was that the bimetal tripped toaster would pop after 20 seconds so I eventually put bread in it to get a longer test time and then frozen bread.

When I switched to music which has far less power than a sine wave, I could drive the toaster for much longer. Rock music produced toast more quickly than classical which popped the toaster more quickly than baroque. I could hear the music from the toaster coils and considered if Bach toast tasted differently than Beethoven toast or Freebird toast.
