Power Cable Suggestions.

The willful ignorance in here is astounding. Truly. It's like an alien world where physics and the science of sound don't matter. So many fake audiophiles perpetuating nonsense; no wonder this hobby is dying.

I guess you should tell Dave Wilson (oops, too late!), Arnie Nudell (also too late), William Z. Johnson (Audio Research, but oops! again, too late!), Gayle Sanders (Martin Logan), Jim Thiel (Thiel), Alon Wolf (Magico), Charles Hansen (Avalon) Nelson Pass (Pass Labs), Ralph Karsten (Atmasphere), Benchmark, Oppo, SONY, VAC, conrad johnson, Soulution Audio, Linn Audio, Naim Audio, Gryphon Audio, DCS, Metaxas, Prima Luna, Doug Sax, Keith O. Johnson, David Gilmour, Rick Rubin, Astoria Studios, this. Oh, and Keith Jarrett.

 I haven’t known anyone - in the past 45 years of being an audiophile, and half that  time spent in the industry - who doesn’t know that cables affect the sound. 

I guess they’re just less knowledgeable than you are. 😁 Now that I think about it, they’re all amateurs. I’m going to write Wilson Audio and demand a refund for using the MIT cables they suggested I use for my WATT/Puppies in 1988, and I shall never buy from them again, as they obviously don’t know what they are talking about!

It reminded me that room acoustics are a sine qua non for any average room, and, without it, there is  so much music we don't even realize is missing. Annoying, but that’s the reality of sound reproduction.  . . . People really need to treat room acoustics as a critical part of getting good sound,

Absolutely right.  I spent about $3K with GIK to treat some of the problems with my almost perfect cube-shaped listening room (11x11x10), and seriously, it was about a 30-40% improvement in SQ.  I still haven't treated the first reflection points yet, but have bass traps in three corners (there is a door on the fourth) diffusers behind my listening chair and panels on the ceiling).  Really significant improvement.  Cables do matter, but any small benefit is dwarfed by treating your room acoustics first.
