After thinking about power cable, I came to the conclusion that there are a lot of similarity with power cable and speaker cable in term of how they affect the sound. The power cable is at the front end, whereas the speaker is at the back end. But why? Especially for a power amp, it has to do with the AC to DC rectification. The power cable serves as the front filter and the speaker cable serves as the back filter.
Cheap power cable are like cheap speaker cable: they just do the basic and they can sound fairly decent. But to get sophisticated sound, the power cable, just like speaker cable, have to be fine-tuned to sound optimal, and that’s where the cost comes in.
