Whether you know it or not, when you spend thousands of dollars on a power cord you have just entered the land of confirmation bias-- and there is far more actual peer-reviewed science to support that than there is, by miles, that supports the pseudo-scientific theories put forth by certain cable mfg’s.
Also, the poster that said that they have to charge what are essentially insane levels of price markup because, due to the stupid price, not so many people will want to buy them-- well gee, given you have all of that profit headroom why not lower the price way down and sell so many more of them? Why? Because, psychologically speaking, the price is a part of the sound.
I’d bet that no-one on this thread could listen to and rank a series of power cables by price, in their own system, using A-B testing-- even over long listening sessions with all of those cables previously "broken in".
BTW-- why do you think those super expensive power cords don’t come "pre-broken-in"? Given they cost thousands and have obscene profit margins, and adding the burn-in cost to the final product would be trivial on a $4,000 power cable for example. not-to-mention that wasting 150 hours or more on break-in adds inevitable wear to your cartridges, tubes, electronics, etc.? Why indeed.
Don’t get me wrong, quality cables are essential to a good high-end analog system and the wire, connectors, and build are all important-- but you can get all of that from any number of cheaper cables-- and you will never know the difference, or be able to rank them by sound quality as I stated above.
And anyone with a "golden ear" surely knows that trying to judge the effect of a high-end cable or component listening to a YouTube video would hopefully know better than that.
Is there any other hobby that makes more wildly unprovable claims than this one? Maybe that could be a topic?
