  Mr Tarun, seems that there still are issues of ground problems in equipment causing noise and hum problems. If this is an issue, it is usually internal of the gear proper in my experience. If there is nothing that can be done by a tech, the method of not connecting the ground on the IEC power connector at the equipment end as you stated in your video is the ticket for all low current draw gear like preamps, tuners, cassette decks and CD players. On the power amp, the shields and ground should be connected on both ends. I’m with you on the color of the conductor insulation rather than the two black conductors numbered one and two as these could more easily be confused if notes taken are not followed. I am unfamiliar with EU wiring other than the standard colors used for mains hot, the neutral wire and ground. Both in EU and the States, the ground wire is green. Not having all conductors hooked up on both ends could potentially end up violating equipment  warranty. This may or may not apply, but it is worth mentioning to the viewers if it is applicable. Hope this may help viewers.

  I connected my Nespresso coffee machine with an audiophile power cable. I immediately noticed a marked improvement in my coffee. Like never before, I was able to discern subtle arabica aromas and a much deeper robusta flavor.

  I was always taught when wiring a plug, that the earth should have slack in the plug. This is because if the cable gets pulled out of the socket, then the earth wire will be the last to break off for safety.

  What I like most about this channel is how clearly and quickly it gets to the point -  during a cable build I'd forgotten which end the drain wire is connected and which end it floats,trying to get an answer on google well what a performance - I remembered this tutorial and bingo straight to the point thank you - thanks excellent.

  I finished my own speaker cables a few weeks ago. They look awesome. Now it's time for power cords! Whew!!

  Thank you for this fine video. I usually enjoy your thorough equipment reviews and I found this video when I asked google how to handle the drain wire - a bingo - you answered all my questions to a T.. Good job

  Good! Now only the piece that goes from the wall to the power station is missing.

  Thank you for a clear and good understandable video and your narrative. I am new here and you can imagine spending already weeks in watching different videos. As others might tend to mumble or have a fast wired dialect you speak clear and slow to follow each step. the international community will thank you too.<br>Well done Tarun, I feel now confident in doing my own PC project. <br>Best, Peter

  Just a quick note to say I respect the way you deliver your videos - the exlanations you give about the reasons for and against key aspects of audiophilology (is there such a word) are what most of us come here for. Thank you for the excellent videos and HowTo&apos;&apos;s. &nbsp;You&apos;ve helped improve my setup.

  Try to capture ALL of the strands inside the wire opening in the conductor pins. &nbsp;Lots better that way. &nbsp;(Take a look at the ground wire between <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfVYfC6tmcc&amp;t=660">11:00</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfVYfC6tmcc&amp;t=720">12:00</a>. You can see the stray.)
