Interesting question with the normal two sides of opinions with the responses.
On the one side you have the "does not make a difference" who has given it the hours of listening and has determined that there is little to no difference. Since this type of person has never been exposed to interconnects and speaker cable that sounds better than lamp cord it isn't much of a surprise that the systems they listen to power cords in won't reveal the type of change that happens with power cords.
The person who has heard distint and not subtle changes with power cords has probably had an exposure to i/c's and speaker cable that made quite a difference to the system and moved on to trying power cords. In a system tuned to a level of resolution that reveals the finer levels of detail power cords make an incredible difference.
If you listen to some power cords and can't hear much if any differences don't jump into making your mind up that they aren't worth spending money on, find out what your system is lacking that keeps it from showing you the differences they are capable of making. If you are going to jump on any of the opinions offered in response to a question like you asked use your head to tell you whether or not the guys hearing a difference have arrived at that opinion through their ability to be fooled into believing they heard a difference or actually did, or the ones who say they have definitively determined PC's make no difference because they didn't hear it, or they have not been exposed to a high enough resolution (due to their limited cable exposure) to be able to hear it.
It comes down to whether you are going to be satisfied with believing you have arrived at a high resolution or actually have it in the end. If you can be happy thinking you can get the best with inferior power cords more power to you.
Don't give up on them until you can hear the difference, being able to hear it is where it's at.
