power cables where do I start?

Aftermarket power cords are a clever ploy to get the gullible to spend their shekels! I am speaking from longtime experience (40+ years!). It would be nice to live in a world where changing a piece of wire brought an improvement in sound quality! Alas ...

The gall of the cable swindlers has no limit!

I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion but roberjerman didn't answer your question, instead, he opened a can of worms.

If one can’t hear the difference between several upgraded power cords and/or a stock power cord then I believe one of several factors come into play here.
Equipment isn’t up to the task to produce the differences in music.
Your ears are not trained to pick up the finer detail.
You have a hearing deficit and don’t realize it.
I would always recommend that if a stock power cord can be easily replaced, eventually do it when you have the cash. Many stores will allow an additional trial period so you can decied for yourself.
