What difference do power cables make?

I’m considering a purchase (about $1000) that will include a power distribution box and a couple of very good cables to service my power amp and subwoofer..

For those who have upgraded power cables, how you would describe the sound quality difference in your system?

Do you feel that it was worth the additional investment?

They can make a difference in some cases but not always. Like pretty much everything else it depends. No power without one. Thats the big difference. 🤞 Wires accessories and tweaks are potentially high profit low value propositions. Be smart! Lots of market gougers and highfalutin scammers out there.

That’s just not true. Here’s what you wrote in this very thread just a few hours before: Love this power cord for dummy’s stuff again and again. By the way, given that you’ve called us "dummy’s," kindly allow me to note that the plural of "dummy" is "dummies." (The use of an apostrophe indicates a possessive.) ... education common sense science…Walla !! Given that you’re stressing education here, kindly allow me to note that the exclamation "walla" is French, and is spelled "voila" or, more correctly, voilà. As for your simplistic view of science, you seem to consistently reject the empirical evidence reported by users here. So please don’t claim to be accepting and objective when the facts show otherwise.

And as with most I to Believe my audio hearing. Confusing (to say the least). Do you “believe” or do you “hear”? Two different things.

He even demos the sonical difference to the much more expensive PS-audio cable.
