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!!!

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.

Now that's a real treat. Not only for rover but for all us non believer's. The tail is mightier then the bark when it comes to scientific research. When in doubt call in the fleas.

Zudo,

You need a dog like the OP to really hear the difference.

The new power cord is the Lat International PC-3. The old power cord will go unnamed. However, my search for the ultimate power cord is ongoing until I find a cable that will make my spouse react when the Playboy channel is on. Can I say this on Audiogon? Smile!!!
