Transparent Audio power cords

I use some upscale (older PS Audio, Pangea, Audioquest, fat rubber thing supplied with my Pass amp) but not too extreme AC cables and my system sounds great...the cable supplied with my recently added Audioquest 707 conditioner has a flat plug on one end that is convenient (and they recommend using it which retired a very inconvenient, too stiff, wrestling match provoking garden hose-ish AC cable in my previous conditioner), and the extreme "premium" AC outlets I've used for years are so grippy I think the wall might come detached when I unplug something. Otherwise stock wire is in the wall. Lots of redundancy with bespoke power supplies for my phono preamp and one of my DACs...all of this results in a very quiet system without my losing sleep over some modest wiring here and there. I’d rather spend big bucks adding another guitar to my collection than on a $4K AC cable, but hey...you go right ahead. Does Nelson Pass recommend "special" AC cables? Uh...no.

Love all the links to Mean Gene The Cable Denying Machine!

This is your choice. Really do not care what Nelson or the boys at Schiit say. Go buy a guitar and let me spend my money how I see fit. Power Cords, or guns, or  feeding the poor.

Audiophiles are not taking money out of the naysayers pocket to spend on audio cables and equally, the naysayers are also not spending their own money on the "snake oil" products.
