Albert... you are into so many wonderful things... Really moving in the right direction with your room,but when you tell me of 10 K buck cables & Lower Resistance Duplex Outlets...Truly to me.. it smacks of pure nonsense...
For me if there is: A True Real Difference ? It is instant...And it doesn't take months of Audition to detect it...
And if there is... A True & Real Difference.... It will show in the Bench Specs in an Instant also...
The whole reason for inventing AC Voltage back in the 1880's was improved
long distance transmittion with lower loss...
Are you using a Power Conditioner ? If so every thing your Cryogenic Duplex & Cords are adding... will be turned into DC & Returned back to AC again..So,what Sonic difference could there possibly be ?
If you use one of your Cryogenic Duplex Duplex's & Cords on your SOUND LAB ESL Bias Supply ? That system draws less than a 1/100 of a watt and INTRODUCES 300 Meg + Resistance into the circuit before it get to the ESL Panel...
If you want to split hairs...The 35 cent Duplex should sound better ,because it added resistance..Whoop...1/1000 %
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A NOISED REDUCTION DIFFERENCE REMOVE THE THIRD PIN AC LINE PLUG .
As a designer & repair tech..I'm aware of just how much circuit parts are built into this equipment to remove any & all AC Line Changes from the final product !
How many of you your Upper-End Audio Pieces boast of Dual power supplies? What they are addressing is the Concept of Interaction of Surrounding Circuits..Stable/ Independent Operation...from all other Interference...And the first place they start is AC Line IN...!
I might take you up on the beer affect...I know a good wine can do wonders for border line cuisine [Emerald L. Is a hack] I lived in N.O. for 27 years..!
As long as Voices are telling me it is OK to listen to High Quality Speakers in a 80 reflective Room and you can perceive subtle differences over long periods of time...? I have to question...!
It's like telling me I can enjoy a PICASSO with heavy sun glasses,but it will take months to get the full picture...
For the price of a Set of Cryogenic Power System & One of the SPECIAL audio cables... You can by a 500mhz Memory Scope Or Line Spectrum Analyser... with a print out...And when you feel your Burn-In is complete ...Go check you print outs and see if there was even the slight-est differences...I'll be surprised.?..
The Audio Manufactures are going a long with all this Hoopla,because it makes big bucks,but they know and share with me how they really feel about it...The Imperia's New Clothes...
You offered me a situation...Here is my offer : I'll come to your wonderful set up...And each day...[or longer] & I'll remove the affect of one or more of the Special Cables Or Cryogenic Cords...And~you~tell~me... which one of.... if any, Sonic Change Occurs.?. No Peaking...
Your room direction is so right on.!.. It is going to be a Sonic Reference to the world,but it will not be because of cords & toys...It will be because of the 60 year Perfection of Sound Lab ESL Speakers And a room built to house the Madonna...Stay on course to What is True...
.................We find what we seek...Even if not really there...
I must say...I sincerely doubt if there is any added real sonic benefits to most of thing mentioned & I don't think any of the hi-priced toys really hurt the final sound, ether!
...Although filtered cables do frighten me?!.
But in the long run, the money could have been spent on better things ...like more records & wine..
Or buy some high end recording toys an make your own perfect sounds....cHa,Cha...
And I am aware of that THE SONIC IMPROVE TOYS MAY BE PAYING FOR THE ROOM...and it's why I've left it alone till.....
