Do power cords make a difference?

I have a fairly sophisticated Home Theater set up with top quality components and cabling. I also have a 5 year old female Rhodesian Ridgeback named Lola. Last week I changed just the power cords to my processor and DVD player. Now every time a dog barks or an animal makes its appropriate sound, Lola jumps off of the couch (it is no easy feat to get her off of the couch) and tries to attack the dog or animal making the sound. This did NOT happen before. Motto of the story, yes power cords make a difference that even my dog can tell!!!

That's some power cable you have. What is the brand that the dog takes notice?

I wish I could convince myself they can work. Logically, I just don't see how they can. It would be great if I had a friend with some I could try.

No, unless they have a manufacturing defect.

Yeah they make a difference. My own epiphany happened when a group of audiobuddies were listening to a new CD player. One of the guys suggested switching in a new power cord he had brought along. In it went, and the rest of us just looked at each other -- it was that much of an improvement. I was strictly a power cord agnostic up until then.

I'll bet the OP's dog would have barked her head off.
