Can upgraded power cords help my setup?

Randee, again, you’re obviously following the wrong sheep. Baa, baa!  🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑

Placebophile, really Randy # 11? There are apparently thousands of us around the world that fit into that category. To think we were all drawn into "the most expensive, fattest, grooviest looking power cord" actually sounding different in our systems. You have a lot of work to do & need to get this information out to the audiophile masses before any others are misled. 

Randy 11: Your opinion and your prose! I'm a associate professor and fail to follow your diction ! I will turn your rhetoric over to geoffkait and boxer 11! At least they can decider your enigmatic prose! Please refer to last two words!

Upgrade your table lamps with new PCs.  You will not believe the difference in luminance, clarity and dramatically enhanced visuality.  I even added a $2000 PC to my refrigerator.  Holy Crap.  Saves on power consumption, and stuff stays colder longer without going stale...the ice maker even operates with less noise.  Replaced my computer's BENQ 4k 32" monitor's power cable with a $2350 VideoQuest version and my Call of Duty games play at a faster frame rate, greater texture and without latency.  

This is amazing.  Expensive Power Cords are God's gift to us.  They provide jaw-dropping enhancements to just about anything.  

@pennsy please repost with nasty bits removed : )

I am not sure how number of posts make a difference on the recommendations.  I was bored one Saturday morning and decided to try and add some helpful advice.  My background is in electrical and computer engineering with a career in biotech manufacturing automation (and instrumentation).

I agree with the poster about the cherry on top.  There are many things that can be done in speaker positioning and room treatment to better the sound before getting to power cable upgrades.

Also, I agree a PC could make a difference IF preceded by a power conditioner and if shielded (with the shield grounded on one end only).

Also, I do not see how someone could argue against  noise reduction techniques used by instrumentation engineers (airplane, medical, defense).

Finally (since I can not post a picture here).  Check out the second interior shot of this $14K Italian Agua HIFI Formula DAC review on 6moons.

Have a look in the upper left hand side of the picture.  There you will see a fat woven  Sablon Audio Petit Corona power cords   (at ~$130/ft (however, in this case at least they are hooked up to a power conditioner - Granada/Alhambra) which should validate at least one of my suggestions)) then what does that fancy expensive power cable plug into?  A IEC connector... what is on the other side of the connector? 18 gauge wire connected to the IEC backside flat shaped prong connectors?  SLIDE ONs? Not even soldered?  Good thing you bought that mega buck power cable.  <sarcasm>I bet those electrons get really mad after traveling on the lap of luxury on the fat power cable, then being made to stuff themselves down through tiny off the shelf 18 gauge power wires and also having to jump through the small gaps made by the SLIP ON connectors. <sarcasm/off> LOL!

All I am really trying to say is yes, enjoy your audio, it is a rewarding hobby.  However, just be smart about where you spend your hard earned $$$.  If you really want to learn and tweak without speeding your life's savings on opinions and reviews. Have  a look at DIYaudio forums and kit equipment.  You will learn how to quickly (and fairly cheaply though ... capacitors can get pricey) make your own equipment that rivals or exceeds many mega buck store bought stuff and be able to test which upgrades really make a difference.  Granted this can be a much larger time investment.   Transcendent Sound is a good kit maker.  There are many others.
