Let's talk power cords


Does a upgrade really make a difference over a stock cord?

with gear that good I would think you would want to do your own double blind test with your own system. that's what I did...it was actually fun and didn't take very long, and improved my system for minimal cost...
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. 
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?
