Do powercords make a difference in sound?

Tbg: So very well stated, sir. I echo your comments. I am amazed at how complicated some guys make this process. I've been marveling at that AC outlet experiment thread going on, for example. This is such a simple issue....get an appropriate audiophile AC cable, swap it out for what you have and listen for the result. Nothing else is required. You like what you hear or you don't....done.

Well, it seems that contrary to the old saying, great minds don't necessarily think alike :-)

In this case, while Richard gives an emphatic second to the comment by Tbg, I'll give an emphatic second to the ones from Knghifi and Doug Schroeder.

testing

Knghifi, I am certainly not saying I would make a decision based on an illogical test, but it is not my decision. That is my point. It is none of our business. Furthermore, what we read by reviewers borders on an illogical test. YMMV should be the conclusion of all reviews. You might want to hear this but never this is outstanding unless followed by in my system and with my ears.

This is true of tests of tires, wines, coffee, houses, etc. I gave up on reading Consumers Reports, but also on Road and Track as not germane to my interests. No one has appointed any of us to be the saviors of others in making audio buying decisions, nor should we be disappointed that others cannot serve us in helping us to make buying decisions.
