Aftermarket power cable for power conditioner?

Now there is something I haven't thought of.

Interesting idea, I never thought of that.

Elizabeth, I think you mean pejorative.

Like P.T. Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute".

To call a power cord a tone control is ludicrous.
Every power cord and power conditioner I have ever tried is subtractive. When there is something about the sound that is objectionable, most audiophiles try to remove it. The quick fix is to install a band aid over it. Cover it up. What could be easier? Just disconnect one power cord and plug in another one.
Even Elizabeth stated in a recent post that trying to connect bare wire to your amp and speakers is too hard and dangerous. PLEASE!!!
Did anyone ever stop to think there could possibly be something else wrong or would that be too difficult? Maybe there is a bad match somewhere in the system. Maybe the speaker wire or interconnects you just bought are not right with your system. You don't want to sell these wires and buy different ones because you will lose money and you don't know what to buy anyway, so, you apply the band aid. Then you apply another one and another one because it is so easy instead of looking for the real problem. And a change in sound is more often than not perceived as an improvement when more often than not it is only a change.

Manley Labs recently added a remote control volume to the Stingray after commenting several times the Stingray was a purist design for the best possible sound, but too many audiophiles whined, so, Manley Labs gave in and most likely compromised the sound. Many audiophiles agree the original purist design is still the best sounding.

How many audiophiles are waiting for the first remote control turntable? What power cord would you use?

Dgaylin, You missed my point. I never said power cords don't make a difference and I use the best speaker cable and interconnects I can find to match my system.

What I am saying is before automatically thinking you need a different power cord look for the real reason you are not satisfied with the sound.

Stop being lazy and learn about your system and your room.

Ggaylin, You made a very good point.
I keep an open mind and I will try anything if I think it will improve the sound.
How many remember the $1.20 tweak. It involves 4 quarters and 2 dimes which makes $1.20. The quarters are placed in the front left and right corners of the speaker and the dimes are place in the center between the quarters at the front edge of each speaker.
Try this and listen for a while. Then remove the coins and see if you hear a difference. This would work best on a conventional speaker cabinet. I don't think it would work on Vandersteens.
You have nothing to lose by trying it. If you don't hear a difference you still have your $1.20.
I tried this on a pair of JBL L-300 speakers when I was using a single ended amp. It was in the early days of single ended and there wasn't much in the way of speakers for low powered amplifiers yet. The L-300 turned out to be a good choice with it's high quality drivers using Alnico magnets and it was truly a full range speaker. Anyway, the $1.20 tweak made more than a noticable difference on that speaker.

There was another tweak that was very affective. Does anyone know what happened to Microscan? It was a devise that attached to the back of the speaker cabinet to absorb cabinet resonance. This was a very good and powerful devise. I used them with terrific results and I gave a pair to a friend who attached them to the bass cabinets on his Martin Logan Monoliths and he said it was the biggest improvement he had ever made to any system.
Microscans disappeared for a while then came back under another name, I believe it was Technisonic. If anyone has information about this product I would appreciate hearing about it.

By the way, I do have a favorite power cord that comes in a variety of types and sizes. The name is Beldon.
