Let's talk power cords

All this discussion on whether or not that power cords make a difference or not o audio reproduction can be proved true or false by scientific measurements alone is a true fallacy.  Power cords, power conditioners, interconnects and speaker wires are all the same.  In the end it comes to trust in one's own hearing abilities.  All I know is that when working with quality audio products that they all make differences.  It is so easy.  For instance I find that Audioquest power cords as ell as their Niagara 1000 power strips really make a significant difference when used.  On the other hand, with my OPPO 205 I find that a JPS digital power cords makes a huge difference compared to using a over three times more costly Audioquest power cord instead.  And that is using the JPS digital power cord plugged into an Audioquest Niagara 1000 and matching Audioquest power cord.  The beter the audio gear used the more differences can be noticed.  One can argue all they want as to wires themself making any significant differences, but to those who have been around the audio game know tht what I am saying is true.  In fact the whole subject reminds me of  discussions reguarding religion.  One either believes or they do not.  But in the case of audio, anyone with good hearing can easily note the differences in reality that all this wire stuff does make a difference.  Otherwise Michael Fremer himself is a liar and a fraud.  All part of the audio conspiracy to spend one's money on nonsense.  You can say that Michael is a liar and a fraud and that I am just another hopeless fool.  But I turn on my own audio system and I know that I am not.  I am not hearing magical voices talking to me.  I can replace my power cords, interconnects and speaker wires with generic substitutions, but I know for a fact that my audio system would, in comparison, sound like crap.  One simply has to have an open mind on the subject.  

I have found that power cords along with power conditioning are both needed to achieve best results.  In my case I am presently using Audioquest power cords-NRG1000, NRG100's plus NRG10's, along with two Audioquest Niagara 1000's.  They together make a significant improvement to audio reproduction.  No doubt about it.  None whatsoever.  There are those who disbelieve, whatever their reasons.  I guess it is much like religion, and possibly what myself observe is just my imagination.  But every time I turn on my audio system the changes are easily apparent to me.  Perhaps it is like Steven Kings "Needful Things."  Possibly I only imagine it sounds better, when in fact, it actually sounds like crap.  Maybe the Devil is behind the whole subject of Audiophile wires and power conditioners.  Anyway, who am I to trust my own senses as opposed to the uninformed?
