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?

Al - I learn from your posts a lot. They bring necessary sanity especially to subjects like power cords.
OK can't resist:

Do powercords make a difference in sound? Yes; no powercord, no sound.

Do they make a difference by upgrading stock power cords in amps, ect versus aftermarket power cords? Don't know, never had a powercord in an amplifier.

If so, can anyone advise a good bang for the buck upgrade? If you find a powercord in an amplifier, remove powercord to improve sound.
Should have resisted: They do make huge improvements. Open your ears.
May I tactfully suggest that if someone can't hear a considerable improvement between a good quality aftermarket power cord in their system utilized in place of the typical stock cable... that perhaps
OK
I've got to resist suggesting you might try "an additional" hobby besides audio...
I didn't say it..it was just such an automatic response to someone saying that they "couldn't tell" that an obviously better component in the audio chain was added and yet went completely un-noticed!!! Truly mind boggling!!!
I'm afraid saying that would potentially initiate so much hostility; I had better keep it to myself...
it's just that....The improvements are SOOOOOOO noticeable in any decently resolving system (which most people reading this thread probably have...)
that I'm stupefied by those that swear it can't be when it so IS!
Oh well guys.
Nothing personal aimed at anyone here...please...
just general comments...
