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?

Are you guys even paying attention??!

He bought a several thousand dollar power cord to replace a $500 dollar one and heard no difference between the two. That is the premise of the thread, NOT he bought a $500 power cord and heard no difference between that and a stock one.

Oh looky, earlflynn/skypunk/jerryg123/etc. etc. is back!

He’s now @coleyounger1896. Honestly man, is your life so devoid of interest you have to continuously get banned and come back? Seriously, seek professional help.

@dill ,

He's been on here and continuously getting banned for years. Up to his childish insults already. 

Whoaaaa!!  I remember jerryg123!  He used to send me "love letters"!

@immatthewj ,

Yeah, got a few from him myself. He just set a new land speed record for getting banned, two whole days. His latest persona is already gone...
