I agree Sabai-it's an experiment that costs almost nothing to try.
Whether it works or not for everyone is not the point.
It's whether you like the effect or you don't in your set up.
Never trying it and saying it won't work proves nothing to yourself or any one.
There are some people who refuse to try anything outside of their comfort zone.
I know people in this hobby who refuse to upgrade their wires,yet continue to swap gear,then get disillusioned because everything sounds the same!
They refuse to believe that their inferior wires have anything to do with it.
The mindset that wire is just wire,that fuses and power conditioning,power cords,etc, don't matter is entrenched in a lot of people.
The people who profess to know all the laws of physics and electronics and are only too willing to let us know that they do.
Yet, in the end, they refuse to do what any scientist worth his salt would do.
Try the experiment.
I've tried the copper thing, and now I'm experimenting with magnets and a combination of magnets and copper on my power cords which are all Shunyata Annacondas.
Does this make a difference?
Nothing that is easily heard as a profound improvement.
But no nasty effect either.
It does no harm as far as I can hear,maybe decreasing some residual noise.
If my experiments cost me several thousand dollars I would be upset.
But spending thousands of dollars on new speakers or electronics and hearing no difference either,would be just as upsetting.
And that goes on a lot.
But there can be reasons for this,like retaining the same cheap inferior speaker wires and not trying anything better.
The truth is that it was fun to try, cost next to nothing and does no harm.
Now had I lesser power cords, perhaps there would be a more noticeable conclusion one way or the other.
But as it is,this is something anyone can try, and you don't need a masters in electrical engineering or soldering skills to try.
It's harmless and you can always go back to normal with not loss of anything but your time and a few bucks.
For those who have heard positive results, then bravo.
Don't stop here, keep moving and trying things that"shouldn't make a difference".
Getting the most pleasure from the gear that you have now should be the ultimate musical experience.
Not running after the next A rated product you've heard about.
Remember, those A rated products get those ratings in systems that have been mostly maxed out with proper wires, and power and stands and room treatment.
In this hobby you have two choices.
Enjoy the music from a system as it came out of the box and into the wall.
Or enjoy more of the same music from the same system that has been optimised.
If music really matters to you,I think you will choose the second choice.
