Let's talk power cords


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

@pawlowski6132 I understand your desire to gain info about cable characteristics from others. It’s kinda circular, as that information relies on gaging and aligning the contributors’ subjective listening (and hearing) impressions with your own. And I hazard to suggest this quest is further complicated (and frustrated?) by objective differences in audio systems and room acoustics.
So these people that claim power cords make no difference because of scientific therories. Well science only knows a small part of what there is to know. They can't explain ball lightening!!!!! That's Just in the electricity realm. If it can't be explained it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Romex is solid core house wiring. Doesn't it  make sense to have a solid core power cord(after market multi strand) to finish the connection? I've heard the same positive effects of after market power cords that others have heard. How about metal whiskering? Scientist don't understand the mechanics of it and it has caused equipment failures. When metal is stressed, projections have been observed. Could that be the reason why sometimes when you bend or stress a cable it sounds different!! Cryonics is another where scientists don't know the full reason why electron emission increases in the absence of light. I got these off Wikipedia unsolved problems in physics. There is around 50 listed.

And then I thought, the exact same wire I was using is still in the extensions. So WHY is that not making the later wire the same as it is on it’s own???

Anyway, I do not have the answer.
However it IS a project anyone could do. make a PC out of the same sort of wire in the wall Romex, whatever. See how it sounds? Then remake the PC with your own audiophile wire. And see if/how it changes.
Romex is very high performance but is illegal and dangerous for use as a power cord. That is why all power cords are flexible wire. The other requirements for a good power cord were outlined on the first page of this thread.
