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?

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

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.

If you don’t hear power cords it’s OK. A lot of people don’t. It’s a signal to noise thing as well as attention to detail thing.
