Is a heavy guage power cord helpful?

NO, I ONLY WANTED TO KNOW WHO ELSE HEARD THIS AND BELIVES IT.
AS STUPID AS IT SOUNDS, MAPLESHADE ACTUALLY SELLS SPEAKERWIRE STANDS. I DON'T RECALL WHERE IT WAS THAT I READ ABOUT SEPARATING
THE +/- LEADS BUT SUPPOSEDLY THEY SHOULD BE KEPT AT LEAST 3IN. APART
TO DECREASE IMPEDANCE. THIS STUFF SOUNDED SO GOOFEY TO ME I JUST HAD TO ASK ABOUT IT!

By the way, you need to use lower case letters, ecept wher upper is appropriate

Yes, separating and those telephone poles are bogus as well, as much more of what is claimed in audio

Have you even looked at a Mapleshade catalog? My god. CD treatments. Wood block. Speaker cables made from what looks like aluminum foil coverd in clear pastic. They must make a killing. Everything in the catalog is grosley over priced and looks like it was made in China for pennies. Even if they only sell a few hudred units they must make a ton of money. Now why couldn't I have though of doing something like that? Oh well, I guess having morals doesn't get you rich quick at the expense of others

Welcome to the world of audio tweeks.You ain't seen nothing yet! Mapleshade is only the tip of the iceberg. Check out the AA Tweek Forum:

http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/tweaks/bbs.html

You will see many unusual suggestions on how to improve audio performance for little or no money. I haven't had much luck with the few tweeks I have tried, except for using small dabs of poster tak (aka Blu Tak) to secure speakers to stands. I paid Staples about $2 for more of this stuff than I ever expected to use, but have since found it to be a very good removable adhesive for general use around the house.

Do the speakers sound better on poster tack than on the spikes that came with the stands? I don't know, but the stuff sure does a good job of keeping them from being knocked off the stands. Someday I'll do a sighted comparison to find whether I get more of a placebo effect from the poster tak or the spikes.

Check out the problems these true belivers think they have when they lift and separate the cables. http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/twe...ges/97064.html, and for a fuller discussion http://www.AudioAsylum.com/audio/twe...ges/96517.html
The're really into this and in the 1st "DISCUSSION" a poster gets in trouble for being a little bit too snippy with another poster.
BIZARRE!
