Whoever follows this thread of mine note my exuberant reaction to the new fixed PP2000. What however I discover today is that for the last few days, right after the snow storm, the quality of electricity in my lines is phenomenal as well. I have absolutely clean sinusoid from wall, with less than 1% distortions. I have some DC in there but the waveform is practically perfect – I NEVER has seen it from mains.  Now is the question: does the sound is so good because the new PP2000 sound or because the PP2000 exhalents the great sound from mains? Thai is a good question, I will wait until the wall electricity will turn crap again. The Cat

A few day ago a reader of my site in response to my quote post wrote to me:

“I wrote about this several years ago but nobody seemed to pick up on it. During heavy snow storms and sometime the next day the electricity is great. Perhaps the snow either in the air or hanging from the miles of electrical wire acts as an insulator to whatever is in the air that is causing the noise. Would be nice if someone in the electrical field worked on this but improbable as they don't care and it would be a negative for the electrical industry to bring it up.”

Sure it would be great if “someone electrical field worked on this” but we know the answer. I think the reader is on something with his theory that snow and moisture cocoon miles of electrical wire and somehow changed something. I think the effect is very similar what Purest Audio design use to do in their cable, when they damped the cable with cliqued. I wonder if it possible to built an electrical equivalent of the “heavy snow storms emulator”?

Just think about it. We have a sealed box let say 2 by 2 feet with 20-30 feet power cable running through it in very thin isolator. We connect playback to this “emulator” fill the emulator belly with snow. We know that electricity does NOT flow though a metal conductor but it flows though an electrical field around conductor. Is it possible that snow has some kind of positive filtration effect to this electrical field around conductor? We know that liquid does. The POD cables are prove and I did my own experiments by damping cables with liquids. I might be possible that a low temperature is also very beneficial and this is why the snow storms work out so good. Hm, does it mean that Canada has better electricity for sound then Mexico?

It is sad that no one looks at the problem of true reason for bad and good electricity seriously and as a result we have no idea why sometimes electricity sound bad or good. In the best cases we have some companies that make more or less successful products the accidently improve sound but they do not have objectives to resolve once and for good problem with audio electricity, instead they would like to create positive publicity around this devises and keep selling the devises. It is like a doctor who instead of curing a patient form his/her disease by addressing the illness cause would devise a sophisticated drag-injecting machine, sort of a catch that patient would be obliged to ware to the rest of his/her life…
