    power cable

    well, there's no doubt in my mind / ears ? brain ? that the introduction of a new power cable has brought benefits to my system. i couldn't wait for the burn period to end before posting a quick review, i can only imagine this is going to improve with time.

    it's definitely faster, and the results are more full-bodied, sweeter, less harsh, you can notice the intricacies in the production that were not previously apparent.



    so, anyway, here's a pic of the cable installed in my system:

    I guess that means Double Blind Tasting, Wolfgang? Surely a panel of golden tongues is called for here, to confirm Robert's findings?

    Robert,
    The power cord is a good April's fool. Too obvious for this forum since it is very reverent for us.

    Well noted Tones.

    :D Funny that,

    RA himself once told me he couldn't tell the difference between coffee and tea in a blind test!.

    One important difference would be that you never hear a tramp asking "£950 for a cup of tea Guv?"

    That is really sad. However, is a good way to demonstrate that we actually uses your smell to enjoy foods and drinks rather then taste buds. Cover your nose and indeed you could not tell between something as obvious as tea and coffee. Good school science class experiment to demonstrate our senses. Perhaps in looking back the basis for the importance of formal DBT.

    Omigosh, you mean it changed water (H2O) to heavy water (D2O)? Shouldn't there be a health warning on the tea to avoid using a big mug in case of inadvertent achievement of critical mass?

    There is likely very little difference in Tesco and PGTIP teabags, try a cup of tea made from real tealeaves. :MILD:
