Do powercords make a difference in sound?


Do they make a difference by upgrading stock power cords in amps, ect versus aftermarket power cords? If so, can anyone advise a good bang for the buck upgrade?

I never give the standard slap down of " search the archives", but I'm tempted to here. This thread is just the latest in a long line of incendiary conversations about power cords. Though I'm sure you're hopeful, I am certain you will not uncover any opinion that's not been expressed before, ad nauseum.
From his other threads, I don't think this guy is a "troll." I see that word thrown in quickly as a "knee-jerk" reaction to any thread that asks a simplistic and covered question. It's pejorative and I dislike it. Yes, he could review the archives for answers, but quite possibly the archives are a bit daunting for a newbie.
It's kinda like:

Does having a dog make a difference?

As you go door to door around the neighborhood talking to people, you get answers like:

Yes. A lot. They are part of our family. He/she is my best friend.

A little. I seem to be a little happier and my blood pressure has dropped.

Not so much. But I do sleep better at night knowing it will bark if anyone comes around.

No difference. How could a dog possibly make a difference in your life. I have no desire to try.

No difference, part II. I had a dog and now I don't. Don't feel any different.

Absolutely no. I've read on the internet that they kill people. You'd have to be really stupid to get one.

I *suppose* you could substitute cable for dog. (ya think).

That was Zen, this is now. Yeah, pc's "can" make a difference. I hear it on some equipment. Didn't believe they could for a long time then I got a dog, I mean pc. The first few actually hurt the sound compared to stock, then found some that helped a little.

Bang for the buck: Volex 14/3 around $10. Pangea at 50 on up.
