@mihorn cool! I will try to make it
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
I bought new an expensive(for me) well known and reviewed power cord for my very good amp and plugged it directly onto the wall socket. After a couple of weeks of daily use I hear no change in the sound quality from a $500 cord. I don’t want to name it for fear of getting my thread deleted. You would know it or at least be aware of the company. Did I throw away several thousand dollars? Before I get the snake oil answer I want to let you know that I bought an upgraded cord for my pre as suggested by the pre’s manufacturer and am pleased with the results.
I guess for full disclosure the amp’s manufacturer said don’t bother. But I had had good luck with the pre so I thought it would be a good idea.
Anybody else have this happen to them?

an amp I bought 2 years ago came with an expensive power cord (as a gift - the seller was getting rid of everything). I hear no difference whatsoever between it and regular power cords. I assume it depends on the components, if my amp and speakers were in the same class as the cord, I might hear the difference. |
@roxy1927 It would be said if we couldn't state our opinions and experiences about specific brands here. Reviewers get enough abuse as have seen with Erin's audio corner. |
@mihorn I read the program and didn't get a good sense of who will be there. Is it s tradeshow? Rooms setup for listening? |
