The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance


This is a journey through real life experiences from you to everyone that cares to educate themselves. I must admit that I was not a believer in power cords and how they affect sound in your system. I from the camp that believed that the speaker provided 75% of the sound signature then your source then components but never the power cord. Until that magic day I along with another highly acclaimed AudioGoner who I will keep anatomist ran through a few cables in quite a few different systems and was "WOWED" at what I heard. That being said cable I know that I am not the only believer and that is why there are so many power cord/cable companies out there that range from $50 to 20-30 thousand dollars and above. So I like most of you have to scratch my head and ask where do I begin what brand and product and what should i really pay for it?

The purpose of this discussion to get some honest feed back on Price to Performance from you the end user to us here in the community.

Please fire away!

To your point, this thread was never intended to turn into a "Audio Snob Session"!!!

So what I am thinking of doing is separating the groups so everyone can speak to the current system without insulting "Porsche or Toyota" "Cadillac or Chevy" at the end of the day we are all Audio Owners that Love Audio.

FYI to all! I have invited manufactures to chime in and some politely responded that this has never worked out for them for these reasons along with the Kamikaze Nasty Remarks! So in the meantime if this happens I ask that all of you to please be respectful or I will "Hyphenate" you idiotic responses!

I will need your help to do this so please be respectful and courteous :)

My thoughts:

I will start different threads based on your current system dollar amount to keep the cross talk in order.

bluemartini,

Does that mean that anyone who posts a differing opinion is an idiot?  
Greetings All,

I believe that each of you will agree that this idea of segregating systems  at there prospective price points will fuel more fun allowing all to better zero in on your personal systems needs.

I have spoken to various manufactures that would also like to participate as longs a we can be respectful and learn from one another, "Yes" even  manufactures need to keep the ear to the ground to better understand the challenges in the respective market place. I believe it will be interesting what we can learn from each other, them from us and us from them.  

Just a Novel Thought.

Cheers! 
A novel thought would be demonstrating their products actually do what they claim, but sure, break down the price points. GK will get in every thread and spam them anyway.
@turnbowm

I don’t believe I called anyone an idiot for having a difference of opinion, quite the contrary!

I am referring to those who are "Disruptive" jumping in looking for a fight, insulting others opinions or questions.
