Shellie, it's funny you bring up a power plant, you see I'm not exactly ignorant of how those work seeing as how I have developed, in a group, greater than 15 power plants over the last 10yrs. That's about 7000 MW of power. That has given me access to a lot of brilliant electrical engineers, and they would tell you that your proximity to the plant would make no differnce since you would need a step down transformer anyway, so that doesn't make any sense.
I no longer work for the company that built them, and I am not an electrical engineer, but I have worked on the design, construction, of all aspects at this point, and I love to bring strings like this to the attention of my buddies who are transmission and power circuit design engineers, it gives them a tremendous amount of pleasure. Your latest post I am sure will be memorialized by them.
Once your power goes from the wall or the power conditioner, as long as the correct volume of electrons, flow into the transformer of the amp/preamp/source then the transformer powers up the remainder of the circuit, tell me again how the power cord affected that? If it is getting the power, enough power to the ciruit the transformer then takes over the power duties. The power transformer can and does affect sound, and the better the gear, usually the better the transformer and the rest of circuit. So if you think your super expensive cord sounds better than a moderate one, good for you. IT'S MAGIC. Did you buy it on Diagon Alley (semi-obscure Harry Potter reference).
Please, could we get a comment from a real electrical engineer here?
Also, I have done this listening test with some very expensive cables, and never heard any difference at all, and power amps used are MASSIVE power hogs, so that should have made a difference.
I usually respect other peoples opinion, unless you are screaming an opinion that makes no sense.
Tell yourself it's better, if it makes you feel better. Hey, I have some land I'd like you to look at too, really great price just for you
