I can't resist -- this debate is so out of control... At one point in my life when I thought B&W speakers were awesome, I also could not hear the difference in power cords. (I am not saying that B&W are not fine speakers -- I have found that there are others that are much more suited to my listening tastes) Now that things have advanced significantly in my stereo, power cords do make a significant difference, some more than others, and the cord / equipment match is extremely important. I have a friend that is a professional sound engineer that brought his spectrum analysis equipment to my home, and this equipment could detect signal rise and fall timing and 1 db peak level differences when the amp was equipped with a very high end power cord. Is the cord worth 3K??? Are some exotic cars worth $300,000K -- its only paint, metal and leather... Let your wallet, ears and seat of your pants decide... I know which cord is in my system...
