I'm having a really hard time with: "Power cable reduced my soundstage"...

My good friend that is in the business and very very knowledgeable calmed that a well made 10ga power cable reduced his soundstage... I'm not saying it will or won't but why would it? I would like to know the science behind this. I did research on here but not satisfied. I had a pair of Logans and they were wonderful and I used stock power cables and the stage was crazy... I have been making cables for years ( musician ) and know the value on quality... what is the magic?

Over the years I've upgraded interconnects, speaker cables and power cords. (Mostly Cardas at this point). To my ears, the power cords have been the hardest to hear differences. Lower noise floor, a bit smoother highs.

years ago I was helping my electrician rewire an old building. I was drilling holes though basement joists that were about 2 inches thick as I recall. The drill I was using was on a 100 foot extension cord and was laboring to get through the joist. My electrician told me to use a heavier cord. Upon getting a heavier cord ( maybe 10 gauge) the drill stopped laboring. That was an early lesson in not restricting power. Joe

Yes I unplug my system when a big storm is upon us... 
If you don't, the breaking time will be moot...

One boring ass thread! Buy what you ca n afford and rock on……Who has time to a/b power cords to try and find a slight variation in sound. Power cords are power cords and cannot change the sound..

If you hear no difference with a more expensive cord then that’s fine. I personally tested an AQ Hurricaine on my Niagara 7000 and was stunned by the upgrade in sound. Can I explain how it works, no. Do I believe it works, yes, for sure.
