I tend to agree somewhat here with Rcrerar and espedcially about the results varying.
it also depends on the sub... your means... and just how well, picky you are.
Perhaps had more $$$ been spent on the power cord. Or just another brand, or even just a different wire guage or termination, a different perspective would have been gained.
I like what pc's do for components and I always look there first to try gaining improvements in the audio structure.
Audience is a nice pc. I've not tried the newer line though. That was my assesment, "nice". Nothing remarkable or ear opening though.
On my two Velodynes, a VSA, and a ACI Titan, I've ktried putting just about every pc I own on them. PCs intended for amps, generally proved out better. I now use one of two Voodoo Gold Dragons on the DD15 with super results. Even on subs with non migratory cords, I've used an adapter and plugged in an aftermarket pc... it was always better than just using the OEM cord.
How much better, and how much you wish to invest is always the true question. The Gold D isn't the best pc for the DD, but it's good enough that I don't invision seeking out the 'just right one' for it. I'm satisfied with the results there. New the Golds are around $600 for a 6 footer like mine. It's best aspect is the bottom end punch and delineation. other's that served well there are the Python Helix, Kimber PK 10 Pladium, Voodoo Black D, taipan helix, and SR T2. All provided varying degrees of low end res and impact.
My answer then is "yes" power cords on subs do make a difference. Just as they do on many other components. What sort, and how much, remains the intangibles. Just about always.
