What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs?

When I was like 23 a bored guy in a HiFi shop, who obviously knew I couldn’t afford anything at all in the store, did a blind test with me using stock power cords, $300 cords (which blew me away at the time that they actually existed) and a cord that costed thousands. System was Krell monoblocks feeding B&W 800 speakers.  I had never heard a system worth more than $8,000 up to that point.  Anyways, I correctly picked the right cable every time. Being able to blind test and pick the cord with 100% accuracy was all the proof / measurement that was needed.

I can still perform this test with 100% accuracy at home. Really, no other measurement matters if you can objectively hear the difference and identify the cord without knowing which cable is connected.

1971gto....great user name but your post not  so much....if your just trying to stir the user pot that's one thing but if you honestly can't hear a difference changing cables ie power,speaker,ic....get a different hobby, audio is not your thang.

The cables I was referring to was A/C power only. I do see value in researching interconnects and speaker cables. Perhaps if one chooses to read then critique they should stay on topic. As for the hobby my ‘thang’ is impeccably well engineered and formidable. Have a nice day…buddy

Ok....if you don't hear differences in power cables,try another hobby.....and try not being such a tool,buddy

@1971gto455ho is simply applying common sense logic which I 100% agree with! I don’t get any troll vibes here but who knows I could be wrong. @1971gto455ho ‘s common sense is enough for them not to attempt a blind test between a stock power cord and a premium cord, on a premium and highly revealing system. If they did try this, and they have an audiophile ear, the difference would be blatant and obvious. Even my 15yo daughter can easily tell the difference in a blind test (not that she actually cares about the difference which is another matter!)

If I hadn’t been subjected to a blind test by a bored sales guy who had no intent to sell me anything (because I couldn’t afford anything) all those years ago, I’d probably be siding with all the power cord naysayers!

Whether the vendors should need to charge as much as they do for premium cords, that is another topic…  I’m not claiming to know the answer but man it seems like they must have massively high margins.  This is evidenced by the fact that it always seems, in my experience, that retailers can give bigger discounts on cords and cables than they can for anything else.
