Do powercords make a difference in sound?

People like you ZMan make places like this no fun. You are an idiot to believe I have not listened to almost everything out there. I have been in the audio business for almost thirty years. My assertion was for those unfortunately hard of understanding is that you can not compare dozens of cables and remember what the first one sounded like. If you can, you're an amazing person. The only thing so far that you've shown me is how amazingly poor your since of humor is. This is audio not a life or death situation. If you get mad because someone doesn't agree with your hypothesis then I don't really give a rat's ass.

I rest my case. Buh-bye!

Rwwear, I do entirely agree that one cannot compare a large number of cables. But two is no problem. But this is a different issue than saying cables are over-engineered and that cable design is not rocket science implying that differences between the sounds of different cables are minor.

The original post asked if there were differences. I would say absolutely with some being substantial; how would you answer?

The simplest answer is: maybe.

No doubt they can.

But in some cases they may not.

Also, when this topic comes up, I like to point out that powercords do not have a "sound". What they have is the ability to affect the quality of the sound the device they help power makes. That will vary by device and is not an attribute of the powercord itself.

Mapman, I think by your logic on pcs not making any sound, only speakers would have a sound.
