[sdiy] O/T Hi-Fi Snake Oil - UKP700 power lead

[jvastine]

  Very true Colin, but does but this fails to include those who believe 
that there will be some dramatic change or impact upon the sound quality 
and thus their mind gives them a better experience. This is what most 
people fail to understand. People experience this with all types of 
products too.

Peace!
