directly, i.e. with no extension.

Maybe if you stopped ripping and yanking cables, they would last longer. I
have MANY 40 year old audio cables that still work fine. I have 10 year old
USB extension cables that still work fine.

I have a 90 year old E. H. Scott radio (that I have owned for 53 years) that
has the original AC cord and plug.

When ARE you going to grow up?
