Interesting read, I have all after market(lower end) power cords and can't say for sure I noticed any differences . That Does not mean I dont believe but I am a bit skeptical. I think I'm a preamp short of my forever system ( Rogue Audio M180s , 99 supermag,Ares upgraded Cinemag 1254 SUTs , VPI HR-X with a Lyra Helicon and a Shelter 901 Soundsmith level 3 retip, EE minimaxCDP that seldom gets used but sounds great and Vandys 3a Sig with W2 subs) with the Exception of wanting the Hera II pre I am set (for now)as far as speakers amps and sources go. I am now considering a PC upgrade but have BPT transformers in the chain and am wondering what I would gain and in what position I should Start My amps are on an older BPT 2.5 and the front end and pre are on a BPT1 ultra . Open to your thoughts but am trying to keep it at in the $300 range used to start Possibly 500 .
Thanks Roger

Good position. This isn't a church so "believing" isn't required.
Think of it this way: If a power cord makes a significant difference then the equipment is inadequate for it's environment. I'd like to say it's defective but since the home audio environment is Soooo wide open, undefined and uncontrolled no one can really knows what an optimum design is.
Even if you measured all the interface factors in your extant system it wouldn't help because the stuff you shop for isn't well specified. And that's why we end up just trying a bunch of stuff seeking "system synergy". While technically I don't approve, emotionally it's actually is one of the reasons that this is a hobby. An adventure. If stuff just worked, well, I wouldn't be tapping this!
