Speaking of outer barrels/plug bodies............

"It would be most interesting to compare the Acrolink connectors (with P-and-C innards) with the M1 & F1, connected to identical cables. Then it would be down to comparing the outer shells themselves. I know I won't be doing this anytime soon. :--]"

I use the Golden Sound Acoustic discs on all of my AC connectors, male and IEC, due to the very beneficial decrease in material resonaces when applied.

I have A/B'd Marinco/Oyaide AC male connectors with/without their outer shells and there is very little discernable difference. The biggest detriment to an AC plug is the body in which the blades/ground pin are molded into. The Oyaides are miles ahead of the Marinco's which sound monotonous when AB'd with an Oyaide.

I have even gone so far as to remove the molded body itself and to solder the blades/ground pin to the power cord wires which was a VERY revealing experiment!! Only the Oyaides did the least amount of "sonic damage" when compared to no body at all. Adding a GS Acoustic disc to the outer barrel brought the Oyaides the closest to no body/outer barrel at all :-)

I am in no way associated with GS or Oyaide, just one VERY satisified customer and I can say this.........The GS Acoustic discs R a highly recommended AC tweak that provides very worthwhile benefits to AC plug/IEC bodies. They can be used in other applications as well, try one on your subwoofer dustcap :-)
