Let's talk power cords

Try listening to your system without power cords and see if they matter.  Yes they play a critical role otherwise we would not need them. Try using a lamp cord to power your your bulky monoblock amps and see how that goes for your ears and system.  

We all agree power cords play a vital role. It seems rather narrow minded and unreasonable to NOT think construction methods such as shielding, conductor material, braiding configurations, dialetrics etc... play a role on this vital part of our audio system. 

They are in the signal chain folks. If you think not, then just remove them and enjoy your music. 

randy-11,
The change in sound quality is unquestionable. 

They absolutely make a difference.  As does cabling in general...as well as room acoustics / system synergy ETC.  Best thing for you to do is to try some...and make your own judgements.

May I ask how you made it?

My brother had just bought a $2k Synergistic research power cord 
this summer and it was a nice increase in soundstage and bass.
i was given a heads up on a lesser name brand using a special 
double foil technology from a Verastarr Audio.  On my digital 
power supply and umbilical cord I could not believe it was the same digital in my Lumin Player .it was not just one thing but 
the performance as a whole was just much more real and dimensional .my brother brought his $2k cable over and it was good but flatter in character compared. I have had several $1500
cables this is now my go to cable . That was in a Copper 
they make 2 even better ,hard to believe .Stereotimes had a similar 
experience as myself. Verastarr interconnects are next .
