mjzee Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 TOKYO— Takeo Morita wanted absolutely the best fidelity possible from his audio system, so he bought a utility pole. The 82-year-old lawyer already had a $60,000 American-made amplifier, 1960s German loudspeakers that once belonged to a theater, Japanese audio cables threaded with gold and silver, and other pricey equipment. Normal electricity just wouldn’t do anymore. To tap into what Mr. Morita calls “pure” power, he paid $10,000 to plant a 40-foot-tall concrete pole in his front yard. On it perches his own personal transformer—that thing shaped like a cylindrical metal garbage can—which feeds power more directly from the grid.

Dan Gould Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 The ultimate power cord. Can't read the article but I have to wonder where he got the idea. Couldn't have been sold on it by an audio dealer because there's not money in that particular bit of foolishness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
