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 po=

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=

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 =

... 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 ... :-)

Yes, the sound in the mains cable! This is for a big laugh, no? One
day, some enterpriser may have special sound power generators and wires
for the audiophile house. Yes, "hi-fi electricity"! Soon another laugh
in the Stereophile!
