Oh ok. You know, without you here to tell me to grow up, I'm not sure I'd ever get that through my obviously thick head. But now that I have you to tell me that, it's like the whole world is right. Boy are we fortunate to have your wisdom!
Dude. All this rubbish was disproved in the speaker audio and home theater world about 15-20 years ago. It's like the HP world is the new target market for the slow to learn.
None of these products are getting pitched in those markets anymore. Mega home theaters don't use them either.
My grow up comment was directed at the whole HP market not you directly. All this snake oil information has been posted scientifically for years. It's time the HP market starts reading some of it. The only good reviews you read are not conducted blind or scientifically and often written by the companies making the product. I saw one today by SVS subwoofers. It's very funny actually.
FYI. If you want to waste your $$'s. By all means go ahead. The workers for these snake oil merchants have to eat as well. So away ya go.
I mean, it's not even questionable that a power source can affect the performance of electronics. And I don't think that for me, it's reasonable to expect audible differences from a product that amounts to some super pure braided copper that somehow is unique and original. But there are power solutions, whether they be supplies or cables, that are engineered differently than your typical power cable. I agree that most of that is snake oil. And believe it or not, you are not the first person to say so. You seem to be emotionally invested in telling people what is right and wrong, and believe me, I also understand that. I know many people partial to being right and telling everyone else all about it.
But what people in any sort of audio world have not done, is scientifically disprove some of the newer cables out there. And really I am only thinking of the Shunyata cable. Already someone has posted an article of that power cable being tested in a medical application, where it removed a substantial amount of noise, which reduced the margin of error on whatever gizmo they were testing it on. Could those doctors be lying? Maybe. Does that mean that there is an audible difference when used in an audio application? I don't know, I haven't tried it and probably never will. With your attitude, neither will you, though I don't doubt that you'll be fine with proclaiming your admitted lack of first hand knowledge of the cable as the absolute final word.
I guess this is not the kind of argument I want to be engaging in on this forum, and I think I pretty clearly stated that in my first post. It's not something I would want to read, so I apologize to anyone reading. But your know it all attitude, that seems to stem wholly from some tests that you read some pro audio guys did back in the 90s, just irks me. That type of blind willful ignorance is also not something that has any place on this forum. So ya, I guess after this, I won't post again on the matter. You though, should feel free to continue to demean people who don't share your opinion. I often find that next to first hand factual findings, personal attacks are, apparently, the most useful way of arguing on the internet.

I might email their support and see if they have a suggestion, or maybe I can just buy the fitting from them.
