Still mystified by mega expensive power cords

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!

First thing to do is to not fall for the red herring. The red herring in this case being the argument that with all the miles it takes to get to your wall outlet, blah, blah, blah.

At first blush and without giving it a second thought it sounds plausible. It's what you use to get that power from the outlet to your amp that's important.
Power isn't being delivered to your abode with the intent of giving your amp a break. It's not a finished product yet. PCs that come with your gear just meet the requirements of not catching fire or melting. Great for power tools but not for audio (though I've seen what long lengths can do with power tools).

You don't have to spend a fortune to get great results and to hear a difference. If you set your goal on nothing over $200 you'd be surprised.

As others have said, read up on other threads and get a feeling for PCs and what they can do. Now, back to doing my Sunday thing: nothing really.

All the best,

$11K is a bit of a stretch, unless, your gear is around $100K retail.

How many cable companies employ cryogenics and/or cable burn-in machines, one wonders? Can a $100 cryo'd and burned in power cord beat a $200 stock power cord. Can it beat a $400 stock power cord. That's what I'd like to know.
