A company, especially one such as Nordost, taking such a risk. Their reputation seems pretty good over many years. But with humans involved anything is possible. I think only entry level philes would percieve volume change to be a qualitative change. As to the assertion tnat changing only one devices power cord couldnt make a difference thats balony. Ive always bought just one at a time, added it to the system and listened for changes. Also changing anything like cabling at the source level always makes the most noticable difference.Between speaker cables ,interconnects and power cords I think power cords make the largest difference. All aspects of AC delivery are critical to having a first rate system IMO. Every part of AC delivery must be addressed from outlet and vibratuon damping of it, regeneration with lots of headroom for sources only and parallel filtering, chokes for high current devices that wont affect dynamics. Finally Im a firm believer ALL cables sound better if unshielded.
Ill be interested in seeing if Nordost responds to the accusations. Was it determined if Nordost employee did the demo or a distributor? AC is dirtier than ever and needs lots of help and really shows the benefits.
