Do powercords make a difference in sound?

hi rvwear:

when there is a blind or double blind test, statistics is used to evaluate the result

statistics delas with probability, not certainty.

when you are talking about knowledge, truth and certainty are required. a mathematical proof is required to determine whether something is true.

when you are talking about differences in sound between one component and another , and whether the difference is detectable, some people can detect a difference, while others can't. thus there is a probability that a difference can be detected. probability is not certainty and hence knowledge is not established.

however, one may have confidence that powercords sound different. one does not know with certainty that powercords sound different.

when dealing with probability you are dealing with opinion.

Maybe true Tennis but it would still serve Randi's challenge and perhaps win some money for Linnr so he could buy us all good cables.

So, whatever became of Liguy's experiments with different power cords? The last I heard of him he was going to borrow some with different geometries, total gauge - in other words quite different than he had been using - and test them out to see what he might hear.

Perhaps I skimmed this thread too quickly, but I didn't see any discussion from him about it.

Well?

I have not had the guys in the Audio Club with some different cables over yet due to a business trip. Please be patient.
