C7 Unpolarized Power Cord

[jrebman]

Yes, the AC goes into a transformer that has the primary isolated from ground, so there's no earth ground on the mini and the polarity of the hot/neutral won't matter -- technically speaking.  On the other hand, I get two clearly different sound signatures depending on the orientatin -- one way is more mellow and rounded, the other is more dynamic and focused.  There's no right or wrong way, whichever way sounds best to you.

Hah, now I understand. So, it does have an effect but not like one would expect...snap, crackle, pop.

It is hard to wrap my head around the simple stuff like this when I don't fully understand what is going on.

Thanks Jim.

Yoder,

Glad to help, and so sorry for dropping the ball on this one -- I should have remembered to answer this for you months ago.

Anyway, hope you let us know when you have that whole system together -- you've got the makings of a really, really nice system there.
