There was a larger than usual group in attendance for Tuesday's Audio Society of Minnesota meeting with Shunyata Research.

Hopefully my announcement here helps draw a few more audiophiles to the event.

I very much enjoyed the meeting. Brandon Lauer provided an excellent explanation and demonstration of why power cords matter and what power cords are capable of achieving in an audio system.

Chuck, sitting next to me, who years ago helped me develop AntiCables power cords, got a poke in the side and "Thank you Brandon for saying that", whispered in the ear from me, every time Brandon mentioned something that totally resonated with our own empirical testing. Things like:
- Fast current delivery
- Solder joints are bad
- Power cords are the first 6 feet not the last 6 feet
- Choosing the digital source when demoing just one power cord

These, and possibly a couple of other things Brandon mentioned, run directly parallel with our own findings. Being the one to answer the question, "Why should I buy better power cords?", hundreds of times throughout years, I found it refreshing to sit back and listen to someone else explain it.
After the meeting, I overheard someone ask Brandon if he was going to leave his demo cables for our clubs system. I don’t think he took the bait. Probably needs them for his next demo.
Thanks!
