Really bad sounding power cables ?

Thanks for the clarification, GR!

I'm particularly interested in an inexpensive, horrible sounding power cable to try in my rig, to see if I can hear any difference at all.

Okay, but wait a minute. Didn't you just build your own DIY power cord? So is the problem you can't hear any difference? Or you want to see if there's one even more horrible sounding? 

Serious question. Because it seems you use a lot of your own DIY cables. And seriously, the last guy I knew who did that, he had so many of these horrible sounding cables it got to the point he truly could not hear any difference between cables, until he brought one over and tried it in mine. He was shocked how easy it was to hear the differences, and how obviously inferior his money saving masterpiece was.

Also I don't see why its necessary even to ask. Every audiophile worth his salt has a drawer full of horrible sounding power cables- they include em with every component! If you have ANY power cords, DIY or otherwise, that don't make those freebies sound horrible by comparison, well then that's your problem right there.

How about really bad posts?

I did.

I wouldn't call it a problem. I would call it an investigation born out of curiosity.


My original, god know what it went to, black power cable and this new one sound pretty much the same to me. I mean, I could be pushed into believing it was more liquid sounding, but I can't actually hear anything I'd be able to tell if blindfolded. So, then it occurred to me, since I am absolutely not going to spend more money out of curiosity, maybe the best, most affordable way to go was to try the worst possible sounding cable, because maybe it was cheap and some one would send it to me for free. :)


Best,

I know they aren't expensive and it seems that many love them, but find that the Pangea power cables are incredibly dark and suck the life out of my sound.  The "cheap" stock cords sound better to my ears.  I recently tried the Nordost Blue Heaven power cords and really like them - and they aren't crazy expensive.
