Help! power cord back ordered!

my chosen +$1000 power cord is currently backordered! how am I gonna go on?


"The new RED WAVE is more than just a power cable. Its a precision instrument. Its three 10 awg conductors are wound with 1,386 strands of extremely pure, silver-coated OFC copper. These very high performance conductors are utilized in an ultra low inductance, double-shielded construction that provides complete immunity to both low and high frequency noise. This Silver Sonic cable is Robustly built to deliver instantaneous current without hesitation, in order to to satisfy the demands of the very finest audio components and video displays.

The foundation of any audio or home theater system is the power delivered to it, and the RED WAVE is the most important improvement that can be made to your power delivery system. It is custom terminated with high performance Oyaide connects, which are plated with 2.0 Microns of 24 karat gold."

if my LHe2 jacketed speaker cables are delayed I'll plotz!

LMAO, removing tongue from cheek now...

That's whimpy. We're not talking until we're doing 1" diameter copper cable for 1000 amp subarc welding systems. Tell them to go home with their fluffy cute 10 AWG stuff.

For that kind of money it better be delivered to me by three very high performance Las Vegas hookers built to deliver instantaneous pleasure without hesitation, in order to to satisfy the demands of the very horny middle aged man that lives here.

I'll put some Barry White on my crappy Hi-Fi, and they'll never tell the difference.

I believe the hookers will be extra, if available.

The transformer is in stock!

AN Super Perma 55% Nickel 0.08mm core

a bit spendy but its SE so I'll save money on the tubes!


I hope they have the values I need in the 0.4w Charcroft Z-foil "naked" resistors

Thankfully that power lead will be right at home in my 1940's bakelite wall socket and similarly vintage house wiring.
It's all about the tone.

I've begun planning to rewire my house in XLO Ref 2 Type 10A (Ultra 10) shielded 12AWG ($16.95 foot) and Kimber Wattgate Model 381 Receptacles ($147 each) with individual pairs of
Bybee Tech cryogenically treated Large Quantum Purifiers made with ERS Stealth carbon fiber material ($110 each) and have begun a petition to have the power company run 4/0 solid bar single crystal cast Ag street lines as well.

These BybeeTech Quantum Purifiers will go on the speaker:

a steal at $4200
