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!

My best friend once was one of the developers of the intelligent computer at U. of Illinois Urbana upon which HAL-9000 is based. HAL-9000 of course was really in charge of the mission. Open the pod bay doors, Hal! 🧑🏻‍🚀 🤗
I dont know why I am so fascinated by robots, Hal, in particular....My best to you all, apes and robots included...

I think I know.... I am fascinated by the apes that are in the robot, and by the robots that are in the ape...

I apologize for disturbing the thread....
  • HAL : I’m afraid. (Dave is disconnecting Hal’s circuits)
  • HAL : I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.
  • HAL : [on Dave’s return to the ship, after he has killed the rest of the crew] Look Dave, I can see you’re really upset about this.
nonoise,

Thank you for dropping in to supply a judgemental and disparaging description of the people in this thread. That always contributes to the tone of a forum.  It's nice to get the view from "on high."

You have quite an imagination in what you manage to "see" in this thread.

In any case: You can rest easy knowing you have now been seen. ;-)

So it appears there is no way to set up a "scientific" test test that will make everyone happy audiophiles will be debating this for the rest of time.............
