Default Fast Power Cables ?

wrote in message

Hello again,
there has been a lot of chat lately about Goldmund
using bog standard Pioneer boards and transports (and
remotes) for their $12,000 CD player, this is interesting
but what intrigues me more is one of their press releases
where they announce their FAST power cable. Perhaps I am
being ignorant, probably, but isnt the speed at which you
get electrons from the socket to the device round about
46% of the speed of light assuming a passive conductor.



No, that's the speed of a wave in a conductor. Electron flow is much
slower.

If so how does Goldmund get the electrons there faster
and does it matter.


Goldmund does not speed electrons nearly as much as they speed the flow of
your money into their bank accounts.

Also given a 50/60 hz cycle does this make any sense at all ?


Perhaps the most difficult to understand of all is how the power travels all
that way on conventional power wiring, and presumably has all this
propensity towards bad sound imposed on it, and then the last 6 feet of
Goldmund power cable makes it all better again.
