Interessting. I send you a PM.

I must ring my power company and ask them to upgrade the power cable back to the generator so my stereo will sound better.

Perhaps they could rewind their generators with silver wire as well.

The whole country would then suddenly have “better” sounding stereos.

Your sarcasm is very electric.

Your sarcasm is very electrtic.

...and on point! I find it hilarious that people will change an outlet and power cord, only to continue to use 20'-100' of standard Romex in their walls.

On the other hand, I did find that replacing my outlets with hospital grade units did improve the grounding of my system and remove a ground loop, but the outlets that I replaced were 50 years old and had weak contacts.

Good quality outlets does help but I would go for a dedicated AC line as well as the outlets before I would mess with cords. I used to have noise and ground loop issues that all but disapeared once my service was upgraded and I had a truely dedicated 20A line set up. I have another 20A in reserve just in case.

It's fun to laugh at people and their silly beliefs.

I try not to laugh. When my friend proudly gave me six Mpingo discs I graciously accepted them... speaking of funny beliefs what about Kansas? No, that isn't funny at all.

Exactly.
