OT: Is Russ Andrews branching out?

For reasons that I cannot (and will not!) begin to fathom, on that page, in the "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed" section, was a link to another Amazon product page:

Anyway, back to the cable. I thought that Ethernet cable was bidirectional. If that is so what the hell does it mean to "Use the conductors in the direction which reduces distoration!" ?

[Graham.]

Damn. Only one left. I needed a pair.

[Bob Eager]

I expect the crystals (!) are aligned longitudinally. Naturally, individually and by hand.

[John Williamson]

When you find the other one, you'll also need a few of these:-

To make sure that the power to your bits is as clean as possible. You'll need enough to go all the way to the substation, though.

I wonder is they'll work on 230V 50Hz, or is the structure optimised for

60Hz?

And that other link led to this:

Customer reviews on both are towards the pretty darned good end of the scale.

[Bob Eager]

It doesn't matter because we've discussed the UK versions from Russ Andrews before...the USA ones are a bit more expensive, no doubt due to the higher current capacity...

[The Other Mike]

Cue another load of emails from amazon 'we saw that you may be interested in'

[polygonum]

Never had one from amazon.com.

The metal crystals are all oriented the same way. The electrons know this, you see, and appreciate it.

[Chris Bartram]

Probably something like a link in a B3ta newsletter. They link odd amazon products once in a while.

See, it has Science and everything:

It shows that at audio frequencies that there is little difference between a cable costing

If I am looking at things right, the PowerKords are worse than mains cable... There again it is not always easy to understand what pseudo-science is actually saying.

and mains is as dirty as hell, so all a "perfect" power cord will do is transmit the dirt more faithfully, for the PSU to clean up.

Do people really think a better mains cord will help?

[The Natural Philosopher]

they think that windmills stop non-existent global warming.

So anything is possible.

[Chris J Dixon]

I wonder how the results would compare at the output side of a typical PSU?

Don't you need a different mains cable if you are on a green tariff rather than a nuke tariff. I mean the electrons must be greener and be better behaved.

Something wrong with my browser. Price is showing as over 3k !!!

"Burn In" is only 15 quid. Save waiting 500 hours for an improvement.

Are people that stupid ???????

Baz

[Huge]

Yes.

Otherwise, how does Andrew make a living?
