Do powercords make a difference in sound?


Do they make a difference by upgrading stock power cords in amps, ect versus aftermarket power cords? If so, can anyone advise a good bang for the buck upgrade?

However, I would submit that this is not the best test of power cords, and that there are many more options available. i.e. A PC with 9 or 10 tot. Ga., or one with silver OFC conductors, etc. You would perhaps find it interesting to try a Wireworld lower end PC with silver coated prongs on the plug.
Rwwear, my point wasn't the ofc (oxygen free copper) as the cable being silver coated copper. A silver conductor sounds quite a bit different than copper.
Clean power does, however best that is achieved.

Power cords alone may be hit or miss. Current delivery capability and a good ground are keys. This is not rocket science. Personally I believe a lot of power cords are overengineered for the task at hand or sometimes just overpriced and not a good value.
Funny? Hardly. Back to the Wireworld; I did direct comparison between two models of interconnects and speaker cables with only the conductor (copper vs. silver over copper) different. The change in sound was no laughing matter.

But remember, one has to have a good system, a good room and good hearing or else the distinction will be moderated.
