True.

You, apparently, are an idiot.

I am interested in what is true, you are interested in "entertainment value."

"Entertainment value:" is not the purpose of this thread or this forum. We are trying to arrive at the truth here.

Kindly bugger off!

Go play your games at Facebook or YouTube or some other "entertainment" site;.

You don't belong here with that attitude.

So all you wanted was to get this thread up past 30 pages?

Man, not only are you an idiot, you are an ass....

And yes, you are DEFINITELY a troll.

Again, the people who BUY these overpriced AC cables are not studios, they are people that plug 'em into a wall outlet with romex behind it.
OK, I realize that you probably don't understand electronics very well.

Take a string of "y" number of resistors of "X" resistance. Add another resistor od "3X" resistance.

Compare it to another string of "Y+1" number of resistors of "X" resistance.

Which string is going to exhibit greater current limiting?

The whole argument that power cable size doesn't make any difference because of the building wiring is a fallacy.

Furthermore, not all studios have sh*tty building wiring - I assume that yours probably does because of your silly argument.

Go take a class in basic electronics.

Cable size matters.

Exactly.

If you had been paying any attention, which you clearly haven't, you would know that I do not support the claims of the "premium" cable companies.

But you're too busy yammering about what you THINK people say to actually read their posts, aren't you?

Agauin, my position is that size matters when your equipment has a large curent draw. Period. If a "premium" cable causes an increase in sound quality compared to an average 18 ga. IEC cable it is due to increased conductor size, not any pseudoscientific snake oil effects.

The only valid comparison in such circumstances is between cables of equal gauge.

My position is grounded in basic electronics. I suggest that you look up Ohm's Law.

And no, on low current devices it won't make a bit of difference.

Well, I didn't notice that it had been revived until this afternoon.

Sorry, Jules says I should consolidate my responses, but if I did that on this thread they'd get really confusing, at least to me.......

Huh?

Maybe you should read and comprehend my posts perhaps? For example>

Please quote a post of mine (directly) where I have said the contrary, please.

You know, I don't know where you get off on insulting people on this thread, when they haven't even disrespected you, as in my case---I haven't disrespect you, yet you seemed to go postal on metutt

If I'm wrong in this assertion, then please quote me directly, in which I disrespect your intelligence. I don't believe I have, but I'm giving you the chance to redeem yourself, if you can. And if you can't, or you refuse, then all I can say is go fuuck yourself.

haveaniceday.

the only truth is that there is no truth....we believers are guided by faith... and I can no more "prove" God exists than you can prove he doesn't..that is tangible, human , worldly stuff...proof..science.

I don't know how to describe it other than to say it is just something I know, something I feel...a spiritual/emotional truth..not dependent on earthly laws..something much, much greater..

I've decided to close this thread based on many complaints from posters. The forum is getting messy, GS didn't use to be like this. A thread about cables is turning into an act of congress. There cables, if ya got the money buy good ones, if you don't buy cheap ones. Enough already guys, go make some money and let this s**t go already. It's tiring out this forum. Go write a song.
