Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?

When logic and science fail you what's left? Oh yeah, your system is junk and you're deaf. If it makes HUGE,SIGNIFICANT. Etc... differences then it can be quantified if not read cd318 post or better yet get a book on psychoacustics.

No- your thinking is not flawed nor would Ayre supply a PC that under performs it's gear. Regarding aftermarket PC, I tested the stock Ayre vs Audioquest Tornado model. The sonic difference between those PCs were not that far apart to my surprise. Of course, moving up any aftermarket PC chain would widen the sonic gap. Performance and price-point in effect. Charlie,  is certainly having a good laugh.

Happy Listening!

Ironically, that statement is a non-sequitur, a logical fallacy.

I have always been amazed - but I shouldn't be - at how confused so many audiophiles are in regard to systems. Many of these posts read as guidance for "How to build a mediocre audio system".  :(

Then again, given the inherent irrationality/contradictions of Darwinism, and how many people uncritically accept that despite it's being scientifically falsified (insofar as soft science can be), it's no wonder they can't figure out how to advance an audio system to its full potential.  

I'm not interested in arguing about my perspective.  

I learned a long time ago that feeding the trolls is bad. It empowers them. And yet, I keep doing it. I should not.
