Boris, adults are talking.
This isn’t my thread. In this forum, I am permitted to be nothing more than a member.
So, have you actually read through the website Startseite | Hifiaktiv yet? And can you tell me—in your opinion—what exactly the gentleman on that site claims that is not true?
What is he supposed to say???
You’re the one who always cries to the moderators!
That’s really shabby of you, Mikey Mouse. 
No wonder Boris isn’t exactly fond of you.
Why don’t you post the rest of that closed thread?
Where you and Boris were attacking ‘bicycle’ and trying to harass him to the point of leaving?
And I’m sure if someone takes the time to look hard enough… they can find other examples on the site, long before I joined.
So I doubt I’m at fault.
And yes, I asked Rosehan to consider having a private conversation w Boris over his behavior.
Is that whining ?
I could have easier written a private email to them as well.
Again, if Boris wants to behave, I have no issue w him posting.
If he wants to act like a petulant child… I’ll still remind him to stop talking because adults are having a conversation. (And now wait for Boris’ attempt at an insult.)

Would this video shake your “faith”—or were you, perhaps, the very person playing the second lead role in it? 
Why don’t you also “read through” the comments—just the first 10—if that’s not asking too much!
You’re concerned with wall sockets and cables—maybe even a local transformer. 
But why bother?
When you can connect all your devices to a PS Audio Power Plant generator. And this whole discussion is pointless, because the devices are powered by a pure sine wave with a set voltage, e.g., 225V.

A clean electricity generator is the only sensible option, ending this absurd discussion about moondust cables with silver threads. Meanwhile, the outlet is connected to a regular copper cable in the wall through ordinary fuses, not purchased at a Hi-End store. Finally, open your eyes and use logical thinking.

Today my new placebo for the Rose RS150 arrived: AudioQuest Hurricane Source.
I know, I know… it is only a power cable, electrons do not care, my wallet is the only component that really got burned in properly, and the cat is already judging me from above the Marantz.
But I have to say: after connecting it and making sure everything was seated correctly, the system sounds absolutely gorgeous. More calm, more weight, deeper black background, and the Rose suddenly behaves like it had a double espresso and a meditation session at the same time.
Of course, I will need at least 200 hours of serious burn-in, 30 different test tracks, three emotional breakdowns, and one more conversation with myself about whether I am insane.
First impression: placebo level 10/10.
Sound quality: unfortunately also 10/10.
Cat approval: still under review.
Wishing everyone the best!

Well, VIK, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you and tell you that I spent a week negotiating to buy my very own nuclear power plant. Unfortunately, when it was handed over, it wasn’t quite as nicely packaged as your power cable. At least now I have my own electricity—which is clean—without having to buy a cable, and it comes with the accompanying placebo effect to boot.
Speaking of cats: yours looks great, even though I’m usually only into black cats. For me, it’s always the little panthers.
So, if you want clean electricity, you can sign a contract with me; just send your power cable back, and a smile will return to your wallet.

VIK, how exactly did you test something like that—or did you simply rely on your ears?
How did you go about making a direct comparison with your old cables?
I shudder to imagine what would have happened if you had arranged for an A/B test: your friend—the one conducting the test with you—asks, “So, my dear VIK, which cable sounded best to you?” and you reply, “Cable (B) was superb.” Then your friend says, “Well, my dear VIK, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you: that was actually your old cable—the very one you were using just a few days ago.”
Years ago, I also bought a rather expensive cable (something I mentioned here previously), but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to test it against my old cables. My brain—assuming I actually have one!—simply couldn’t retain the information, because the time it took to swap out the cables was far too long. To my ears, they sounded exactly the same, so I ended up sending the somewhat pricey cable back. But perhaps I didn’t hear any difference simply because it wasn’t quite as expensive as that €1,600 HURRICANE cable. I suppose that was the reason why I didn’t hear the veils fall.
"The one that had worse power at the output than at the input? 
—Why are you writing such nonsense? It shows a lack of both knowledge and experience. Use an oscilloscope to check what kind of garbage the power plant sends to your house. And then you’ll stop dealing with cables, that is, a piece of rolled copper.
Mikey…
I wonder why—is that why I can go buy myself a reactor? Yes, exactly—because they’re flattening everything here.
I have such clean electrons buzzing around in my cables that the angels actually serenaded me from their harbor. The lyrics were quite lovely, too! They thanked me for providing them with clean electricity. I suppose I’ll be hearing these beautiful angels day in and day out now—especially when they let all their veils drop and the background turns a stark, pitch black. But I strongly suspect that I won’t even need to switch on my equipment anymore just to listen to music. That is one of the great advantages of clean power. Oh, I think I’ll just sell everything next week; with electricity this clean, I don’t really need any devices anymore—the music just appears all on its own, as if by magic.
