Let's talk power cords

to Willemj,
correct me if i'm wrong but have been you going on about after market power cords without having tried ANY in your system ("Do you think I am that mad?")? Are you saying you have no experience with after market cords?  I'm going with that that's not possible because anybody that expresses so vehement an opinion without actually having listened to a power cord or two is simply a boob. You go on about the science but why not try a little science experiment of your own and listen to a few cords and THEN express an opinion. At  least it will be informed. You might even learn something. From my vast experience listening to a great number of power cords, there is NO doubt they have anywhere from no affect to a minor to a profound affect on the sound quality. Do you think that everyone who purchases after market power cords is naive or stupid or deaf but you, who have never listened to an after market cord know that they don't affect the sound? Stop wasting everyone's time with an uninformed opinion. Or I could give you an opinion and waste your time  about a book i never read.

Can someone who has had positive experience with aftermarket power cords cite specific examples of what they heard? Which album? Which passage? What specifically? Was it really "better" or, just different? If it was"better", what do you think was causing that deficiency in your system in the first place?

Better is always going to be in the ears of the beholder. 
Good systems aren't deficient they will produce music differently with a variety of different power cords but I don't think it can be proven to non-believers satisfaction because it's a matter of personal taste and hearing ability.

Agreed but trying to get more insight into what people perceived to be as better. For example is there more Bass, is there less sibilance in the vocals, are some of the highs less screechy,.
