Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s

Having been listening to music for over 30 years the tweak I had resisted was power cables and mains blocks. 

I took the plunge spent £400 on mains cables and a mains block through Mark Grant cables in the UK. All hand made. It was easy for me as he lives 15 mins away.

The quality of the product is excellent the sound difference, just tighter, clearer, no noise,  it is like lifting a veil off the speakers the whole sound just seems clearer, greater separation and increasing the width, height and depth.

I recommend you look at your power cables and mains block rather than spend £0000's on new boxes. I wish I had taken the plunge years ago. I have never heard Marc Cohn or Jackson Browne sound so good. 

I have a nice set up. Amplifiers Croft Epoch Elite and Croft Twinstar 1 both modified by Glenn Croft,  Melco Streamer, Exposure Dac and Piega Classic 40.2 speakers with Lfd Speaker cable and BK sub Xxl 400. I could not be happier.

Enjoy the music.

...I just don't see how a large wire gauge power cord can supply more power to your amplifier than a smaller gauge power cord as long as both power cords have equal or larger size wire than what is the wall from the circuit breaker to the outlet ...
I don't think anyone here has claimed otherwise.

... the ball’s in your court to explain how these magical power cords supposedly work ...
This is a hobbyist's group. No one here owes you a technical explanation for how audio components and accessories work.

I was a power cable none believer for years, (its a piece of wire bringing electricity to my components) how could it possibly make any difference? Then several years back ... During our listening session we replaced the stock power cable on my Oppo disk player with his and then played the same song we were listening to again...…. well lets just say I became a believer at that moment.
 It seems to be common that many who've discovered the benefits of improved cable started as skeptics. That really frustrates the measurementalists who claim "placebo effect" to explain why some prefer better cables.
