Hello,
I have to believe that Albert's long-term-listening procedure is what is needed because I went back and forth last week between NBS Statement and PS Audio Statement Extreme power cords on a pair of CAT JL-3 Signature amps. There is a HUGE difference in retail cost of these two products.
Each time I thought there was a little more resolution with the NBS in the decay of cymbols, but switching back to the PS Audio and the decay was so natural as well. There was no discernible tonal differences and no other attributes caught my attention as have sonic differences.
Either the CAT amps don't benefit from this due to their design or I just need to listen with one set of cords for a week and try another in a week or so. And then I will try this whole process again with the power cords on a pair of recently acquired Soundlab A1s against the stock power cords.
Often we want "better" products to bring on improvements but if we can not hear such differences for whatever reason, then Albert said it best, "forget about it".
John
