Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers?

Yes indeed. Believe me, I would rather spend less than more, but experience has taught me that often spending more pays dividends equal to or exceeding this extra expenditure. I dont understand the motive behind getting us to deny the validity of our senses. 

This weekend our audio group compared DACs in a single blind setting. The DACs were: Thor Audio/Audio Logic DAC (over 20 years old), an Audio Note entry level kit DAC and a new Chinese resistor ladder S.S. DAC. They all sounded very different. Most thought the Audio Note the best with the Chinese coming in second. Guess which DAC probably measured the best?

Then we listened to all of the same music on analog. 

claiming as thicker than 100ft house wiring 3ft PC will tangibly affect sound is not justified! 

@westcoastaudiophile As I explained earlier the wiring in the walls is far higher performance than most power cords so Voltage drops in it are less of a problem unless you're really drawing some current. Some audiophiles have 20Amp circuits installed on this account.

@audition__audio  +1  My sentiments exactly. 

I easily hear differences in interconnects and speaker cable on my mid level system.

All my power cables are lower/ middle level Cullen and one Zavfino.  They are the only power cords I use and I don’t have the energy or desire to compare to any others.  Those who also have challenges getting behind their rigs will understand.

I know this has been discussed to death.

I can understand why cables in the music signal path will impact sound.

But I still do not understand how two similar gauge cables of different purity metals and qualities, both delivering equal power to a transformer, can impact sound.  EXCEPT if one has some sort of gizmo to filter noise out of the electricity if the power is "dirty" and the unit’s transformer can’t filter it

@atmasphere with all my respect to you and your wonderful creations, I like to add more details to this, somewhat important, discussion:

1) I think it’s pointless do discuss effects caused by “most cables/cords/wirings” without bringing up technical parameters, such as R/L/C per foot or meter, for specific parts. Power cables in my usage are better than my house wiring, thus have less voltage drop per length. Other important variables in power interconnects are connections between wires and terminals, and between mics. contacts. 

2) Amplifiers with transformers/rectifiers/capacitors in a power supply, draw current at very short time over sine wave. Worse, the better the amp is the shorter time/phase segment current is drawn. The best power block designs I’ve seen and worked on, current drawn only 1..5% of time. Such circumstances make even 20A certified wiring/outlets not enough to reduce IR drop over AC supply, which can exceeds 10 Volts! Thats why house wiring shuld be the first step to improve sound system power delivery, to reduce IR drop caused by 50A or more short current spikes. 

3) Transformers’ used in the amp’s power supply are the most IR-dropping devices in the chain, that’s why top brands use very expensive, well performing, heavy ones. Priciest part of Parasound JC1 for example is transformer!
