New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?


I bought new an expensive(for me) well known and reviewed power cord for my very good amp and plugged it directly onto the wall socket. After a couple of weeks of daily use I hear no change in the sound quality from a $500 cord. I don’t want to name it for fear of getting my thread deleted. You would know it or at least be aware of the company. Did I throw away several thousand dollars? Before I get the snake oil answer I want to let you know that I bought an upgraded cord for my pre as suggested by the pre’s manufacturer and am pleased with the results.

I guess for full disclosure the amp’s manufacturer said don’t bother. But I had had good luck with the pre so I thought it would be a good idea.

Anybody else have this happen to them?

@dill ,

He's been on here and continuously getting banned for years. Up to his childish insults already. 

tvad    I like to walk into rooms at audio shows. Look around at the attendees, and try to imagine which guys are posting on Audiogon.

Please visit my room (#272) at THE SHOW 2024, OC. Costa Mesa audio show on June 9-11. I promise you’ll meet many members.

Unlike other rooms which talking and music don’t mix (un-natural sound), my room is full of conversation (natural sound music) like a live band cafe. Alex/WTA
