Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?

5% in relation to a stock power cord.

I can’t really trust dealer comments. I am more interested in reports from audiophiles. 
Whats your story? Did you manage to increase speed and resolution of your amp ? (without losses in the bass area)

Well for some us the world is flat and others its round.

If you dont understand how electrons play a roll in an electric circuit how can you understand that arrows on a wire are meaningless.

60 hertz(meaning the current changes direction or polarity 120 times, or 60 cycles, a second). (In Europe, line frequency is 50 hertz, or 50 cycles per second.)

What is the definition of a "strawman argument"?  If you mean my point is based upon real science and understanding how AC current actually works and not some vudoo marketing pixie dust that this comment is based on:

"Ideally all cable manufacturers should control directionality for all of their cables, power cords, HDMI cables, interconnects, digital cables."

I would not want ANY cable in my system, home or data center that I work in that claimed to control directionality and as it turns out I don't and none of my other audio friends do either.

"You’re right about one thing, the AC current does travel in both directions. But only one of those directions is audible. See if you can guess which one. A prize for the right answer."

The answer is both. How else do you think you build a bipolar power supply? It's the negative phase of the AC waveform pulling half the secondary negative.

>>>Whatever.

Electrons are only charge carriers. The signal, the thing traveling through wire at super high speed, is photons. Pop quiz: do photons have mass? Maybe you should get your money back from the high school you went to, with your friends.

Strawman argument is defined by putting words in someone’s mouth as you did with electrons. Follow?

Did I just get trolled by bdp24? Now that’s funny :)

To what do I owe the honor of being trolled on a used HEA forum?

I’m not sure if I know more than Art or not, never studied together. But, I have about 100,000 clients who might think they know more than he does, does that count? Likewise I’m sure that Art has as many clients who can’t imagine I would be smarter.

I’m not sure what all products Art has designed besides his Gilford cloths ones. Those who want to visit my website can see Acoustical Treatments, Cones & Spikes, Blocks, Cable Grounds, Tunable Speakers, Cable, Tunable Room Designs (Home and Pro), Tunable Audio Platforms.....

Art and the other acoustical designers seem nice enough to me. I’m not sure if the others offer the entire audio system like I do, but maybe there will be more of that in the future. For myself, designing the entire chain has been a great education.

But back to you bdp24. I have no idea why you or anyone here would want to troll me. Shoot to me, trolling does the opposite from the goal I would think. I’ve only seen one guy on these forums that has a way of trolling that works, the rest of you who try just look like bored angry uneducated old men. If your going to troll someone, you need to step up your game. Personally I think you would do better by becoming my friend, but that’s just me.
