... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound...

Hello to all...

I was shifting around components in my system, trying to squeeze out better controlled bass, more definition within the soundstage, and better define the "voice/midrange" presentation...

I presently have a tube preamp (hardwired with a wall wart) into an HT Receiver; source is a Marantz SA-8001 CD Player

Swapped out a Yamaha HTR -5550 (hardwired) for a Parasound HCA-750A (which needs a power cord).

CD Player is powered with a PS Audio Statement SC power cord, so I went in my closet and pulled out another PS AUDIO Statement SC power cord, hooked it up and expect to give it at least 5 days continuous re-break-in before serious listening.

Took a minute to lookup reviews about this power cord - and I read some rather confusing reviews: some luved 'um, some liked 'um, but some thought them " ...slow... " (?), and giving a veiled presentation...

I'm gonna listen and decide myself - but I'm abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound - I know that interconnects and speaker cables would/could/Do affect sound presentation - but how could a power cord?

Explanation/thoughts please...

By the way half of science research on brain and computer is paid by google, and google is the main lobby guiding the research....It is no more pure science.... In medecine the most influential person in the world is the microsoft founder....Where is science?

Yes, it was a magazine article about research on consciousness done at the Data Science Institute at Columbia. It isn't like a music review magazine. The idea the brain creates consciousness isn't something new as you point out. The that the brain creates consciousness is our modern day working theory it isn't the old paradigm but our continuing paradigm. . It isn't something buried in old textbooks that noone takes seriously.

Sure new paradigm slowly manifest ...

Affirming that brain create consciousness is not science, at best it is a working hypothesis.... the main actual one for a short time again , but no more a sound working hypothesis only but today mainly an ideology paid by transhumanist theologians... Research go where the money want it to go....

Textbook in neurology are old after few years.... :)

But djones i will give you the point of victory, because my experience and opinion are not mainstream science for now.....My point is made and i dont want to argue too much....
