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!

Thank you English is not my first language and I sometimes make mistakes it is very difficult language to master! Mostly I am "conversational" in English but electricity is an international language so it is easy to see where your knowledge gaps are unless I misunderstand your English which does not seem to be the the actual case.

Why don’t you tell us about your "career"? Are you from the advertising end of the industry serving as a marketing, advertising, and promotional consultant that is what it sounds like simply linking to "authoritative" links will not establish you as knowledgeable, expert, or informed remember there are many experts here so if you do not want to have you’re feelings hurt again be careful how you explain "facts" and "science".
