After hearing positive testimonials, I ordered a couple of VH Audio power cords to see if there could be any sonic difference whatsoever. I went in completely skeptical, in fact wanting to disprove they could make any difference. Yet, they did. Snappier snare drums, a more spacial feel, more detail, pluckier guitars, etc.So, I'm dumbfounded. Can anyone explain the improvement I'm hearing. It just doesn't make sense, but the sound is changed. Could it be purer copper? Better shielding? What?
