@westcoastaudiophile  What equipment do you have and what non-stock power cables you have tried with it that led you to the formulation of your definitive statement of them having no value? 

@facten I am design engineer, and my job is to actually measure components including all cables etc to make sure performance spec is satisfied. As I see typical power cable resistance is about 3 mOhms, expensive one is 2 mOhms, including wall outlet and device connector. Some very good quality components have power cable attached, which does not make them less hifi.

Information about “blind test” results, where expensive power cable superiority confirmed vs stock cable would be welcome.

@westcoastaudiophile - You can borrow cables from the Cable Co., or borrow one or more from someone you may know and conduct your own tests. You didn't respond with details about your equipment, but maybe use the Audiogon virtual  system search and find members who may have a similiar amp, DAC, transport, streamer , whatever and determine what power cables they are using that you can then trial and compare results with.  No better way to determine if you will or won’t hear an SQ difference - good or bad- in your system than a hands on trial. No worries then about if others simply reported perceived purchase bias, no worries then about your pre-judged measurement bias clouding the issue , no worries about taking someone else’s blind test claim for granted etc. Your can put yourself in a position to make your own objective determination, and then you can make a definitive statement of the results in your system. Personal trial, highly recommended!

 

Are you kidding me? 10k plus for a power cord. Unless you have specific power requirements and a dedicated circuit panel, it just doesn’t make sense to me. 
 I know some of you probably have systems that could justify that kind of expense and I kinda envy you. I know that I wouldn’t spend that on a power cord. Just my opinion, no offense.

Alas I will never know. I asked my wife if I could put a $18,000.00 power cord on my $8000.00 amp and she asked some very good questions and then said NFW!
