The only thing funnier than thinking that uber expensive power cables will make a noticeable difference is demanding that those cables be pre-burned in. Two myths for the price of one.
Audiophile frame of mind
It amazes me how I can justify my audio purchases and don't think much about them with something costing several thousand dollars. I know this goes with any hobby but I had a funny thought over the weekend. The last OEM part of my system that I have been considering an upgrade is power cables. I only have a couple random low end audioquest cables that I got as part of purchases several years ago. Shunyata recently launched two new lines, Gamma and Theta. I was thinking about the Gamma and to start with my monoblocks for the first 2 cables of a system that needs 6 total. It would cost about $1300 for those 2. That is the same cost of a nice Weber stainless steel grill with a side burner. I couldn't go forward with getting an official quote on the cables. Looks like I will be grilling in style this summer!
