New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?

@squared80 this is not entirely true. First, often supplied power cables are poor quality. Cost cutting. Pass cables are pretty good actually, properly designed. Hospitals use medical grade connectors - so they care about better power connection, right?

There is indeed a LOT of snake oil. But there are also poorly designed power supplies…

Nelson has an excellent writing on how much Class A amp must weigh. And if weigh less, you are getting scammed. Because amo must have proper power transformers and headsinks and they weigh a lot.

All this demonstrates is that you are a sensible person who doesn’t automatically assume that because he paid $500 for a power cord it sounds better. Congratulations on having such good sense. The power cord mania is pure nonsense. I bought fancy power cords for all my components a few years ago and ended up selling them all because they made no difference in sound. They looked great, but I wasn’t about to turn my units backwards so I could admire them.

Are you guys even paying attention??!

He bought a several thousand dollar power cord to replace a $500 dollar one and heard no difference between the two. That is the premise of the thread, NOT he bought a $500 power cord and heard no difference between that and a stock one.

I have several Shunyata products in my system and every one of them works as claimed by the manufacturer at every price level. You would do well staying with Shunyata. The difference in SQ will be appreciated more and more as the power cord breaks in. May be subtle at first but after 400 hours, switch out the new for the old and you will be very pleasantly surprised. Enjoy!

should called the cable company, try before you buy !
