Still mystified by mega expensive power cords

Well you should be equally mystified why the capacitor, tranny, connector or wire or resistor etc...in your gear would make any difference! Same exact question should plague and not plague you for consistency sake.

Goodness, what can a few feet of wire or a passive part inside our gear do after all those miles and miles of power from the station to the house and then inside our house? Ha!

What about IC's and speaker cable? What can they do after all that spider web of power lines into and in our homes?

Well the simple answer to your question and all like is this. Gear and wire is designed to fix or maximize our music system because of all that comes ahead of it! You need a good power cord because of the very fact that miles and miles of stuff before it needs help to play the best sounding music possible in your home. Is that not the very definition of our need for high end gear and cables and conditioners etc...When you question the power cord you really question all of Hi Fidelity . No kidding.

Power supplies in our gear and on and on are designed and needed to help sort out and maximize the very thing that mystifies you.

So here's the drill. Put on Jennifer Warnes' Famous Blue Raincoat and listen. Swap in expensive power cord and listen to FBR again with attention to minute changes. Swap back in original PC and listen again to confirm differences.
I can't think of a way to make the exciting experience music provides more boring. Think I'll join Elizabeth in that nap.

I agree 100% with Grannyring. Instead of posting this thread you would be better served by trying a variety of PCs in you system. You are free to come to any conclusion you wish but it should be "a posteriori" rather than mere speculation.
I will agree that $11,000 might be a "bit" more than a well engineered PC should cost, unless it can cook gourmet meals and pour a nice cocktail.

I'm not looking for flames, but for those that believe in power cables, enlighten me.

I'm a power cord believer, though I didn't use to be. I don't feel that it's my duty to enlighten anyone of anything. You have to listen for yourself, either you hear it or you don't. You're probably better off if you don't hear a difference. ;)

We do need to educate those not as wise as us seasoned Aphiles. Sometimes we just have to do the right thing. Ha!
