Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

What I've learned here will be passed on to others

A few months ago, someone brought up power cords on a forum I moderate elsewhere. The usual "snake oil" type posts came up and the thread died. Recently, there have been a couple of similar threads wherein people whose opinions I trust posted of their positive experiences with power cords. It piqued my interest, but, to be honest, I went in completely convinced that no positive change could result. As I said before, when I got my cords, the improvement was readily observable. I almost fought against hearing what I was hearing, but it was and is there. Next, an explanation and as I'm more of an audio enthusiast than an engineer, I came here, where I hoped to find an answer. I've taken back some of the information I've received from you gentlemen and added it to the thread (with due credit to the authors here). I will bookmark this thread for those times when I hear bashing on other boards, usually by people who've never used aftermarket cords. I just get tired of people knocking something they haven't even tried, as well as the pat responses you've all, I'm sure, heard such as "The electricity travels miles and miles before it reaches your house. A couple of feet aren't going to make any difference."

Thanks again. I truly have learned from all of your posts.
