how can a line cord affect frequency response ?

A seasoned 64-year-old trained economist, mathematician, psychologist. . . a practicing software engineer and author. . . an aspiring and inspiring barrister. . . and yet all of these whilst lowering himself so to impart onto us struggling simple souls the high wisdom of logic, rhetoric, Latin, etiquette, engineering, and the true audio-truth to boot!

What can I say. . . I's in awe. . . I's just about speechless!

Dpak996: Triggering on both, but not at the same time! For the line cord waveforms, I'll trigger on the line. For waveforms on the filter, I'll have to trigger on the ripple, as the music signal will, or at least should, be very small in comparison. But, I can trigger on that just to see what might come up.

I am hoping to have time to check this out tomorrow night, as I should have some lab time available.

Tvad: I wasn't asking for proprietary secrets. I was asking for some data indicating their cables improvement. For example, you bought a power amplifier for your stereo, certainly you asked it was tube, solid state, what power it has, signal to noise ratio, current capacity, perhaps you even talked to the manufacturer about their philosophy in design. All of this provides good data and information, yet is not proprietary.

Data is data, in my opinion. Whether the specs in the data correlate to improvement in sound is open to subjective interpretation.

I own a VAC tube amp. I am certain its specs measure significantly poorer than a $200 Technics HT receiver, yet I prefer the sound of the VAC, and I would bet most audiophiles would, too. Of course, there are also audiophiles who would prefer the Technics HT receiver with its superior distortion specs. It's all about what one hears, and prefers.

I appreciate your need to know measurements. I prefer to go with what my ears tell me. Call me crazy. Call me wasteful. It's my money, and I'll spend it as I wish.

hi tvad, i'm a renaissance man. eat your heart out !

MrT, the phrase “as a lawyer” implies you are one. The phrase, “if I was a lawyer”, suggests you possess the strong debating and analytical skills of a lawyer, which might enable you to win a debate with Guidocorona. For such a self-proclaimed learned individual, your misuse of the English language is confounding, odd, and perhaps purposely manipulative. It’s hard to tell. I mention this because the answer to the puzzle is germane to how one approaches your threads.

Frankly, at this point, I question anything to which you lay claim regarding your background or areas of expertise.

Oh, never mind.
