I don't know if you missed this, or just couldn't see for the tears in
your eyes...

Re: AC power cord construction:

"Did you know that the tightness of the jacket materials could change
the sound? Our jacket materials are designed to be loose. After
numerous experiments, the tightness of the jacket materials does
affect the sound significantly. If the jacket materials fitted the
cable very tightly, the sound of music would have been very constraint
and the "vividness" of music would have disappeared."

I suppose we should be a little thankful for these clowns, since they
have certainly done more to resurrect tube manufacturing than hams
ever could, but man it's hard to keep a straight face.....
