And than you connect it to 100' of antenna back to your breakers. The power line filter in the device is what prevents RFI from getting in or out.
Nothing scientific but it seems to me that non-OFC copper wire gets green/slimy or have funny grayish/green color on it faster in heavy salt air environment (the ones that I am usually in). Proof (I have no idea of how long it takes or the humidity level of my home during the duration of many years but at some point it becomes noticeable).
Then I change the cable.

That's true, except for old dimmers, most RF and EM stuff comes from nearby equipment just it would in a surgical suite. Not saying its a silver bullet or some kind snake oil treatment, just an $18 cord that's built and tested to a robust electrical and mechanical very high standard, unlike the HD or ACE HW no UL or CE who knows garden variety.

You can get a coiled one for $25.

Why would a power cable make a difference? Just like why a fuse would make a difference or an Ethernet cable would make a difference. Just like cable raisers would make a difference. Just like there are people who believes in ghost stories.
A lot of these beliefs are rooted in, forgive me for using this word, ignorance. A lot of this ignorance aren't necessarily related to one's intelligence, I've known an MD doctor, who teaches at an Ivy League University, who believes in these audio voodoo and fairy tales. There are people who have advanced degrees that are conned by call centers impersonating a Nigerian prince.
As long as humanity existed there are gullible people and uninformed people and then you have those who want to make money off of them or those who actually believe in their own BS to sell the BS.

I also had to upgrade the power line in my street all the way up to the street transformer to get audible benefits.
It costed me a fortune but the improvements are so evident I can't get around it any longer.

Ack. Are you being serious with these chatgpt arse responses? Or just trolling? I really hope it's the latter.

Of course, your partner confirms this right out of the kitchen.
After having spent my lifetime savings for power chords I suddenly became aware there’s nothing left to deal with these crappy 12V trigger cables. Gonna start a gofundme and hope you guys will chip in.
