What difference do power cables make?

I’m considering a purchase (about $1000) that will include a power distribution box and a couple of very good cables to service my power amp and subwoofer..

For those who have upgraded power cables, how you would describe the sound quality difference in your system?

Do you feel that it was worth the additional investment?

The GT0 has what is needed to operate at todays values with comfort. Motor control is A fabulous combination of vintage + enriched attitude. A Fast recreational hobby if you will… I drive and am intrigued with German daily rides. There Certainly is sound and electronic controls in those vehicles. A Very speedy treat as well I might add. So now that we filled in a few inquisitive gaps let’s move on to Audio, really the point being here…I’m sure we agree.

Cheers

FWIW I bought the components for my power cables and built my own. It was a great project. I used Furutech parts and built 10 garage for my conditioner and the amps. 14 gauge for all other components. I ordered sleeving from Amazon. I already had shrink tubing from some earlier projects. They look very professional and I could hear an improvement over the stock provided cables.

A very good power cable need not cost much. They can make a difference in some cases but not always. Like pretty much everything else it depends. No power without one. Thats the big difference. 🤞 Wires accessories and tweaks are potentially high profit low value propositions. Be smart! Lots of market gougers and highfalutin scammers out there.

I don’t fault a person for believing what they hear.

That’s just not true. Here’s what you wrote in this very thread just a few hours before:

Love this power cord for dummy’s stuff again and again.

By the way, given that you’ve called us "dummy’s," kindly allow me to note that the plural of "dummy" is "dummies." (The use of an apostrophe indicates a possessive.)

... education common sense science…Walla !!

Given that you’re stressing education here, kindly allow me to note that the exclamation "walla" is French, and is spelled "voila" or, more correctly, voilà.

As for your simplistic view of science, you seem to consistently reject the empirical evidence reported by users here. So please don’t claim to be accepting and objective when the facts show otherwise.
