And the sound in the wires, the cables, the spikes,
the wooden discs and so on? This is surely a joke, an entertainment not
meant to be serious. It is for a laugh, no?

Somewhere away from me, natural gas flows through a pipeline to a huge power
station, driving turbines which turn massive generators, producing
electricty.

The electricity is transmitted at 400,000 volts across the country over a
network of lines; it comes to my regional electrity distributor, which
steps it down to 200,000 volts for transmission over its own network. It's
stepped down still further by regional transformers and substantions,
arriving at my house at 240 volts through a thick 100-amp cable.

Once in my house, it's distributed on 30-amp ring mains, connecting to
outlet sockets. From an outher socket, its connected to my hi-fi system.
And all this is pretty-near instantaneous.

But if I am to believe the adverts, I can improve the transmission of
electricty from the generating station to my amplifier, by repacing the
supplied two-metre mains cable with a hi-fi mains cable, costing a mere £25
.... I don't need to replace the 20 or 30 metres of cable in my ring main,
nor the underground cable from my house to the substation, or anything ...

Mmmm ... maybe I should start an electricty company, selling hi-fi
electricity to audiophiles ... :-)
