Heavy Duty IEC AC Power Cable

There is a perfectly reasonable explanation for this.
These high end cables are able to tap into the multiverse of "many worlds" outlets. They don't just draw power from the one outlet in this world, they draw it from the many worlds outlets. They only look like their plugged into one outlet for observers in this universe.

I hereby trademark the "Many-Worlds" Power cable. It's open licensing.
:)

I just thought of a cool scam errr, electromagneticaudiophonic process whereby I let power cables bask under the glow of the aurora borealis, impregnating them with astrophonic universal constant wavelength enhancers. (Of course, I'd have to have separate cables treated by the aurora australis in the Southern Hemisphere; using the wrong cable could actually impede the flow of electrons due to the Coriolis effect.) While the cables are basking, I can come up with some more florid adjectival enhancements. I may also let them sit in an orgone accumulator, just to add some Reichian mystic sound orgasmatronic film-flam cycles. You know, to enrich the protean crystal matrices so that the cables will be imbued with Coltranean cycle of fifths energy for a more musical energy extension. Think I can get Sun Ra's estate to allow his signature to be printed on them?

Ah yeas, Heliocentric audio cables! Has a nice ring to it. They make your Fugs and Pearls Before Swine records sound better.

Sadly, now that Peter Belt died, I can't make fun of his products anymore.

At least she is honest about it.
This reminds me of that thing of coating the edges of a compact disc with a green marking pen that would supposedly noticeably improve its sound quality.

I have special doilies that I'm selling to place under your high-end audio components or bass amps
that improves audio quality and increases power output.

One for $150 or five for $500

Wow, I can just see how the crystalline structure would enhance anything it touches! And I bet it downtunes any music played to 432 Hz.
 
Well I did some shopping. I filled my cart with pretty good components, but I couldn’t decide on a few things. I haven’t chosen my digital and tuner pieces yet. I also think I’ve forgotten something???

Oh and one more thing, there is also a place to enter a discount code, but I couldn’t find it. Anyone have a discount code?

You forgot to factor in the isolated concrete slab to mount the turntable to.

Precisely!

Just make sure, after installation, that the grootenator is cellularly aligned 3° from prime towards the third house of Mars and the freebostat is set to the bi-stable falling edge position, lest initial power-up results in lateral phase oscillation commencing spitzundsparken! ;)

I still have at least two major pieces to decide on. And I'm certain to need more "interconnects" and " high fidelity power cords", just to complete this entry level system.

Having these installed weren't cheap either. I had to travel to Austria, as only one surgeon in the world performs this procedure!

Pete would sell you a special marker for that too. And some spray that you sprayed on the top of your disc. And a number of other things.

Shipping charges will drive up the price; better to buy local in this instance.:)
Years ago I was checking out a dead power amp at a local night club, and noticed they installed the turntables on a concrete slab top supported by a 12" diameter cardboard tube form filled with concrete to keep the bass from shaking the tonearms.

Sometime after, I was given a Technics SP-10 turntable, a nice turntable but it was lacking a plinth, so I made one out of 1/2" Corian marble look-alike, which turned out to be more than massive enough for my listening needs. I had read that they had an optional factory supplied obsidian plinth, and many hifi nuts actually claim the plinth material alters the tone of the records.

Oh, and I blasphemously installed RG59 miniature copper braid cable for the tonearm patch cables, with a couple of Neutrik China RCA connectors, just to add insult to injury.
 
I'm rethinking this deal. I'm told the speakers selected are suitable for a childrens play room or maids quarters.. no more.

It's been suggested that I move up to speakers in this range or better.

They sure are sexy! I can hear the fantastic sound just by looking at them!

(I might have to wait for my tax refund tho...)
