Power Cord for Power Conditioner

You folks on Agon are lucky.
The mods at Cannuck Audio Mat(CAM) where I am held in low esteme for being and UN denier-would havelocked this thread down or deleted my posts for posting my experiences with after market power cords, be they DIY or store bought.

I guess I am of the Shunyata faith, but I've given ypou th reason for that.

I just as well could have be a follower of Kubala Sosna, but they weren't around for the comparison.

The point is, it's not what brand of power cord you choose, it's the fact that you are choosing one that isn't stock thatnirks the deniers.
I coined a term wallpluggers-for folks who like to plug straight into the wall.Mostly with stock power cords.

However I've seen the term denier used and to me it's more appropo.
It covers more ground and includes other things beside plugging direct into the wall sans power conditioner or aftermaket PC.

Now I've asked it up there in the Great white north(where censorship and a lack of your first ammendament rights)and I'll ask it here, "what pleasure or purpose do the Deniers get from , well denying that, anything like fuses or power cords or power conditioning make an audible improvement?

Surely I must be smart enough to have earned enough money to buy theis stuff, am I not also snmart enough to spend it on what I want?

Whose ears are listening to this stuff anyways, your or mine?

Now another point I've made before in that other place-how can you know if this stuff makes a difference or not if you have never and will never use it?

How can you tell me it made no improvement in my system?
And you think I am a mystic?

"And I bet most of the high end cables out there are merely off the shelf wire that everyone else uses. "

If you read what is on the Shunyata website, they agree with you.

"The majority of cable manufacturers buy their wire pre-made from major US or overseas suppliers. In many cases, it will be the least expensive wire available given that it is hidden from view."

Excellant reply Grant.

I am glad you stepped out of the shadows.

Some folks rip the guts out of old vintage gear at great expense , and replace old worn parts with newer designer devices, yet they can't wrap their minds around power cords.

If something as small as a resistor or capacitor makes a sonic difference, and some folks prefer one brand over another and can hear the difference,(if they couldn't hear any difference how could they prefer one over the other?). When the very first thing their project sees is the power cord,how can they place so little importance to it?

In fact without the power cord, everything else is in vain.

And for me, it is in vain, if you end up plugging the project into the wall with a stock power cord.

What he said.

Grant / Samuel: Thank you for the thorough dissertation and helpful clarifications. My ears were never in doubt but maybe now more will try and so hear the improvements for themselves. BTW, I've been meaning to explore your product line. Keep up the good work.
Happy Lissn'n
