Thanks for the responses, all! Here's the rub with the guitar guys: Many of them are just plain prejudice when it comes to audiphilia. Unfortuantely, it's just an attitude problem. What's surprising is how vitriolic the responses are to a suggestion of, say, a power cord for an amp. They just dismiss it as nonsense! It's sad, but more than just a few guitar guys can really be a bunch of flat-earthers. Oh well . . . For the record, I'm playing a Dr Z Maz 18 Jr, which is basically the audiophile version of a guitar amp. I play G&L ASATs mostly.
Help Me Explain Power Cables to my Guitar Friends
Guys, I need some help!
I have suggested to some of my guitar geek buddies that they could improve the performance of their tube guitar amps by replacing the power cords. Now, I know that many here already believe in the qualities of upgraded power cords. But I can't convince my guitar buddies; they won't even try it because they say, "You need to show me some scope measuresments before I believe this 'snake oil' stuff about power cords."
Does anybody know of some way you can "measure" power cords that would "demonstrate" that they can improve performance? Help me out here!
