Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?

I find the first few hours after a cable swap to be a very inaccurate presentation of what the SQ will eventually be.  Especially with power cords.   The more time, the better.

I always have a good laugh when I read about A/B testing by the measurement crowd.  It’s obvious that they don’t know what they don’t know.

This hobby that we are in takes time to learn it. It takes patience, money , time, familiarity of components and speakers, even cables.One thing I realize even experienced reviewers they spend weeks or months before they make conclusions on their findings .So who am I to say in a week concludes that my new cables or components or speakers sound good. I invested time to listen from jazz , classical, vocal , country music how my systems sounds.

One of the reason why at Axpona they can’t maximize the sounds because of acclimation period needed.why Sunday is the best time to listen though I know they are only maybe 80% at their best.

One bonus I have as audiophile , I have friends who have good ears. And willing to offend me to learn.They have musical system as well.Plus I attend axpona annually because I am 35 minutes away from the venue.This helps too.
