Doing the Power Cord Thing

I've never heard a $2000 power cord that I know of. You brought it up. The most expensive one I've ever heard is the one I just bought that was about $500.

I did. What is your point? Here is one but not the only example:

I understand putting your own stuff together solely for the experience.

I didn't say it was the only reason. I said it wasn't a cost saving one.

But it's more than a little disingenuous to then compare it to something that's 20 times the money, and imply that they're somehow the same.

That logic fails since there's absolutely no requirement for a product value to match it's asking price.


By the way, the point of this thread was really for me to talk about building my own cable and whether or not I can hear a meaningful difference given that this is a genuine audiophile build and the previous cable was probably from a PC.


If there are cables you feel are worth their price, feel free to share your experience. Just don't expect me to have the same.

So far, I've heard apologists and personal attacks.


Either I haven't built a cable using good enough parts, or I haven't gone through the appropriate rituals (stretching, cryogenic treatment, etc).


No one considers that maybe whatever these cables need to fix my environment doesn't need it fixed. :D

If you consider my comments a personal attack, that certainly wasn’t my intent, Erik. I’m always surprised by people that post their thoughts and are then upset when every other person doesn’t agree. Stereos, cats, widgets, doesn’t matter. I’ll refrain from posting on any of your threads from here on out.

I have had $4000 power cords and $330 power cords. Equipment dependent ultimately, but the Anticables 3.1 Reference is so damn good...it just let’s my amp do it’s best with clarity, dynamics and extension beyond reproach plus exquisite tone. I prefer my Transparent Reference on my CDP limit noise, but for $330 the Anticables is amazing.
