no electrical engineer would support the Validity of the famous claims about power cords unless he turned out to be a cable manufacturer
My existence disproves your assertion. I had special interconnects for a decade before trying really good speaker wires. Then another decade before trying really good power cords. Definitely kicking myself for waiting. The difference isn’t small, and I’m surprised we don’t have public measurements to prove it, yet.

I don’t emember how it sounded or how I felt, but I have pretty good memories of how I characterized the sound of each cable. I’ve had one pair of interconnects for 20 years now, but not in my system any more. Sometimes I’ll try them again and they sound just like I remembered that I thought they had sounded. Unlike many, I’ve found that each cable has a consistent sound regardless of where it’s used.
