Most designers do not know a lot about other brands. And they do not have a lot of experience with many different cables. I asked them many times about this. Many times I was surprised how little they knew.
What I did in the past was always an a-b comparison. Like a source with an inexpensive powercabele and a less expensive source with an expensive powercabel etc. Then a blind test and ask what people prefer. At the end it is just about the best sound. So keep it simple.....Your welcome Audiolabyrinth.

Do you take their opinion as unbiased? Obviously, they want you to spend your money on their equipment! In their opinion you can use a coat hanger to tie your gear together so that you can afford to move up their food chain and buy their more expensive offerings. There's always a trick. ;)

And companies that sell high-priced cables aren't doing the same thing?
