Doing the Power Cord Thing

I tried several different power cords in an audition process. Did not hear any difference despite hearing large changes in various interconnects and speaker wires in the system. Since you have no control over the miles of transmission lines, the local transformers, the distribution wires in your neighborhood and the wiring in your home spending big money on the last few feet of electrical cable seems silly to me, unless you are doing a full power conditioning setup where you can dial in voltage and cycles, other than to make sure it has very sufficient conductor size for maximum power needs. I don’t think I would use anything with a capacity less than 12 gauge on any amp of respectable power.
