Re: For Steve Eddy & others: on shielding/unshielding ac cord

Quotes from this manufacturer:

"Increasing the distance between signal cables and powerful magnetic fields is the best cure for either electric or magnetic field problems"

This is observable time and again in my system. Shifting powercords away/towards other nearby powercords and metallic objects by as little as 1 cm can have audible effects on tonality and soundstage perspective. Kyu is welcome to come and verify this for himself at my place in Woodlands.

I use unshielded stock powercords straight to the walls with no 13amp fuses. Currently all 3 powercords are about 3 - 10 cm apart (down their length) from each other.
