Actually spinning the DVD in the opposite direction you played it will restore the sound and video to pristine condition as it came from the factory. 😉
Exactly 🙂 now for those that didn't stay awake during class or are self taught "engineers", you are free to make up how things work to your heart's content and sell quantum tunneled audio thingies to the gullible.
Jack Bybee called me and thanked me for the link here on the super expensive power cable. He thinks that their test technique can be useful for other cables, also.
It's true. We are very busy! My new speakers come next week. Next time you come over, (if ever), I hope to have a 'proper' listening space.
Jack Bybee just told me that he also wants to come over to listen as well, when I finally get things in order. Maybe I can get you two to meet when you come by. It is about time!
It's good to know that someone finally makes a cable which reduces the noise level of those pesky microwaves.
A cheaper method is also available, don't listen to your stereo while defrosting dinner.

Of course real engineers (or physicists) realise that if there equipment is affected by the mains lead then its time for them to hang up there lab coat and get a job at McDonalds.
Of course anyone with one iota of honesty will decry that £3000 plus mains lead as a total rip off and scam. No info of any worth anywhere (apart from some dodgy EMC results). And may I remind you that EMC is a BIG problem so any super doper ways of combating it would be sellable to the whole world of electronics, but no same old patent applied for supper doper ways of combating it with discs (PCB material with what in-between) and no technical information what so ever. Of course the rest of us poor mortals working on very high tech electronics have to make do with substandard information from the likes of:

.... power cords in the real world often form a parallel star grounding system between system components worth consideration at least on a theoretical level. Others chortle about power station copper.
Maybe a look at who I linked to purposely I may already have considered that point. Power cords on there own are not going to solve the problem, and bespoke £3000 plus cords are going to be no different than a good quality competently engineered cord. Of course you can always fit a ferrite that will supress a lot of conducted noise, then there are all the things you can do add filters at the front of the power supply, its quite a well studied field, but only in the world of Audio do cables like this exist with all there magical abilities to get power from a socket to a piece of equipment, its a ridiculous amount of money to pay, with no real proof of any benefits.
Some more interesting stuff on grounding...

Ohhh, I got a good one fer ya.
I once read that you have to regularly subject cables to DC...you know, to replace the old electrons, with fresh ones...
DC cable rejuvinator... I will make millions
1) refresh electrons
2) slow down, almost eliminate cable oxidation
3) retrain electrons to move in the right direction (that's why the writing on the cable is important)
🙂
You would be rare in this thread, though the real test is breaking the loops at device inputs; instrumentation inputs, transformers etc..
I am also amazed at Gutwire. They have all the right cables 😉 Just enough snake oil at the right price.

Be careful that some overzealous detractor moderator does not suspect that you are a sockpuppet for Jack Bybee.😉😀😀
Seriously though, one of the best Hi Fi sounds I have heard was a pair of Wilson Puppies + Watts, driven by a Be Yamamura mono amp set. [It was not to my taste as it lacked any etherial nuance in acoustic music....but it was blindingly better than 98% of top endsystems I have heard, including many 'best, money no object systems in Italy]. I hope your new speakers arrive soon and do the business for you. Just hope that they are not lime green!

Here is the deal. The cords have no value. It takes energy to pick them up or plug them in, and it takes bad character to sell them to another. One shouldn't like such things or dislike them ad I do. A better man than I would be indifferent, but I am assuming we yet to look out for each other here.
Brianco, I am surprised that you might think that I am overly representing Jack Bybee. Heck, he calls me almost every day, and we talk about things that I will not bring up here.
However, he did think that the MEASUREMENT of those exotic line cords was a good technique. They REALLY do something that is measurable. Is it important that they do what they do for most of us? I doubt it, but STILL, they do what they do. To say that they have 'no value' is an insult to the engineers and physicists who designed them.
