Blind Power Cord Test & results

I have experimented with several power cords over the years spanning the price range from $100 to $3000 . I have observed that all of these cables irrespective of pedigree require some "settling time" of up to several hours to sound their best. Consequently, I think that PC cable evaluation can be very misleading under the conditions of "double blind testing". In my system I can easily hear differnces among some cables.

Perhaps misleading if you are trying to choose which you prefer. Less so if all you are trying to do is detect the difference. When I make a cable change at home, I can hear a difference right away. A day later, I sometimes feel differently about the difference I am hearing.

Drubin:
I agree that you can hear differnces "right away" in most cases. However, my point was that conclusions based on initial impressions could be quite "misleading".
I guess we are on the same page.

In violent agreement, as they say.

All my power cords are blind, I don't need to test them to verify that.
