Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?


Your experiences?

This is the way I think of it and I maybe wrong so please add if I am way off base::

The electricity I receive at my humble abode is generated over 100 miles away. It goes through step up and step down transformers before it reaches my house. From there it flows through 25 year old 6 to 12 gauge wire until it finally reaches my outlet. How on gods green earth can a 6 foot cable running into my amplifier make a difference? 

 

Thanks..

 

@grunge1000 ,

A good question not likely to receive a satisfactory answer for you.

But, we hear what we hear. Who are we to judge either those who hear a difference or those who don't. Both are right. Those who hear a difference flat out hear a difference no matter the reason. I find it silly when those who don't hear a difference post that people who do are wrong, like they know better than the person who is actually experiencing it. Whether it's due to some as yet undiscovered scientific explanation or individual perceptual reality bias, we hear what we hear.

We've known how to utilize electricity for our purposes for a long time, yet it's still not truly understood how in its most basic constituents all that voodoo works. 

So I don’t own a cd player now but what I’d like to add to the conversation is that I completely believe in cables and from my experience the same cables that were an amazing upgrade for my amp, did not play well with my DAC or Streamer. I believe different components need different things out of the cables. In my case I’m pretty sure the Streamer needed more filtering than my amps. Maybe if I were using a power conditioner cable results would have been different.
