Really? Let be logical here. Honestly I have not tried an expensive power cord in my system but all I can say is that if cables does make a difference, it would probably be in IC. Power cable would be the last chain and the least priority. We to realize that all is carrying is power and nothing else. Yes I said it.
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
I bought new an expensive(for me) well known and reviewed power cord for my very good amp and plugged it directly onto the wall socket. After a couple of weeks of daily use I hear no change in the sound quality from a $500 cord. I don’t want to name it for fear of getting my thread deleted. You would know it or at least be aware of the company. Did I throw away several thousand dollars? Before I get the snake oil answer I want to let you know that I bought an upgraded cord for my pre as suggested by the pre’s manufacturer and am pleased with the results.
I guess for full disclosure the amp’s manufacturer said don’t bother. But I had had good luck with the pre so I thought it would be a good idea.
Anybody else have this happen to them?

You have to spend more than $1000 on a power cord to hear much. Hopefully your system is good enough to discern a difference. Power design within a component may impair the ability to improve upon them with a better power cord. Your electrical system may be pretty darn good to begin with and may not allow much improvement. Lots of positive reinforcement affects your judgement. For the types of things you listen to may in time allow you to hear differences. A good quality recording is a way to really assess things. I have a less revealing system in a room and it doesn’t matter what speaker cables or power cords i use and it’s a very nice system |
@roxy1927 It would be said if we couldn't state our opinions and experiences about specific brands here. Reviewers get enough abuse as have seen with Erin's audio corner. |
