Can someone tell me which one is the LIVE vs NEUTRAL sided prong on the US power cord?

In this eBay link below I found a US style powercord, on the one side prong there's a white color line mark on the black sleeve, the other side sleeve is full black.
Question is what is positive VS neutral prong?

If you have powercords properly connected to the wall outlet with the phase in the correct position, you will get better performance out of your electronics.

Please tell me what is the correct phase for plugging the prong clockwise or counter clockwise into the outlet?
Thanks

The normal standard for US wiring is White is ground.

in eürope we have 2 types of power plugs both earthed and non earthed plugs.
earthed plug with an earthed outlet is the preffered option for best and safest use with electronics.

earthed (ground) plugs called Schuko - the best type!
Schuko power plugs have a 3 wire cable connected to the Schuko plug: Live (color brown) - GROUND (color yellow/green) - NEUTRAL (color blue)

the other type of power cord and plug we use in eürope is, type C7, non earthed powercords with plug, cord and plug only use a 2 wire cable: LIVE (color brown) - NEUTRAL (color blue)
these plugs were used for VCR, CRT tv's, HiFi etc. etc.

the US style powercord which I asked for in the threadsart is this US powercord/plug equivalent to eüropean Schuko earthed (ground) plug or not?

when I check the phase with a phase pen and connect the power plug with the phase in the correct position in the outlet, Audio/video quality will improve.

this is what I needed to know about the US style powercord and plug, if the whiteline color marking on the outer sleeve is LIVE or NEUTRAL when I plug in my LD player to my stepdown converter for best playback quality.

As far as I know "schuko" trype plugs do not exist in the US for normal household or AV appliances.

schuko is only for european countries except UK

The wide blade should be black ("hot")
The narrow blade should be white ("neutral")

Carlos, why don't you google search????
Why do you ask for us to google for you???????

One blade is larger than the other and will only plug into your outlet one way.
One way only. One way only, means one way only to plug in.

I checked the plug on my R7G, both pins are the same in width but one of the pins is slightly longer than the other one.
The slightly longer pin must be LIVE???

pins wont go into my outlet dont have US outlet on my wall, pins will plug into my stepdown converter

that link was very helpful

Whoops, had it backwards. That's what I get for going from memory...

HOT is equivalent to LIVE??

I had to re-write my other reply

My R7G had the same size plugs just like yours.
If thats the case it shouldn't matter which way you plug it in.
Just like a radio or any other device that uses those wires you can see that it plugs into your player either way which means it can go
into the wall/converter and won't make any difference.

Maybe it doesn't matter which way I connect each plug, in eürope we have LIVE - GROUND - NEUTRAL.
Which means if you plug it the correct way in the outlet, electronics will perform better.
I'm an electronics nerd I like to connect my stuff the correct way to get full synergy from my hifi and video gear.

Regarding link you provided yesterday.
I have highlighted the interesting fact
Type A plugs are generally polarised and can only be inserted one way because the two blades do not have the same width. The blade connected to neutral is 7.9 mm wide and the hot blade is 6.3 mm wide.

US style power plug has one flat blade which is narrower (HOT blade) compared to the other one which is a bit wider (NEUTRAL)
Compared to my Japanese power cord from the CLD-R7G which also have a 2 flat blade plug, the only difference between both flat blades on the jap plug is that one of the flat blades is a just a tad taller than the other one, they both seem to have the same width.
Should I consider the slightly taller japanese flat blade which also has the white line kolor marking on the outer sleeve to be EQUAL to the wider US style (NEUTRAL) 7.9mm flat blade?

The shorter 6.3mm US flat blade prong is LIVE, so this probably means the japanese shorter flat blade is also LIVE?

I wanna get it all right when I connect my stuff to get the best out of it.
Can you Kindig-It why being nerdy?

found the correct info

taller flat blade on japanese power cord R7G plug is the NEUTRAL equivalent to the wider US flat blade NEUTRAL
