Power cord? Why?


I see a lot of posts regarding power cords. I would like to know what sonic difference they actually make. Could anybody explain this in a simple way?

Thank you

Now, I hate to be smug here, but with all the discussion that's been going on here with Corona (and really, I wish that much Secret Agent research was being done in, say, petroleum alternatives than audiophile power cords), I think I'm getting much more musical enjoyment working through Keith Jarrett's "My Song" on the piano.

Mind you, an ACOUSTIC piano that doesn't benefit at all from a superconductor power cord.
Sonic_genius: I think we all fall victim at times to forgetting that it really is supposed to be about the music.

So many threads end up a religious argument about hardware...it reminds me of my days as a freshman in high school, when "I like prog rock and everything else sucks", was constantly at war with the guy carving "Framton rules (sic)" into the desk...who thought everything prog sucked along with the people who liked it.

I have to believe large doses of live music of widely varying genres can mitigate this tendency. But of course, I don't necessarily need to believe this religiously.
