Power Cables diminishing returns

Obviously diminishing returns apply to life in general.

All my power cables are Audience E's. As far as I'm concerned, they're hard to beat for the price.

I completely agree with you, where would you say the price point representing the best value lies

Unless one burns in the power cords on a cable cooker and or cryogenically treats them, in addition to the usual break in, I suspect it's very difficult to say one has really gone all the way with a particular cord. The costs for burn-in and cryo are relatively small.

OP-

any/all cabling (power cords included) should reflect 10-20% of your system's cost.

MIT would argue that ;) I agree you Jafant....I have burned through a lot of dough trying cables....haven't tried them all but enough do draw my own conclusion. My opinion is there are a lot of great cable/designs in the sub to slightly over 1K range and after that you get into what seems to me to be the search for extreme resolution. I am more in the musicality camp and some of these flagship and near flagship cables just leave me cold....maybe you need an uber expensive system to enjoy...that I do not have.
