Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors

@mikhailark "

"So are they deliberately degrading quality of their expensive gear OR they are actually good engineers and know their stuff? No, what a strange thought."

Who said anything about the designers/engineers degrading the power supplies etc in their gear? I didn't. What I said and what I will again is that just because they  supply generic power cords doesn't prove one way or the other that there will or won't be SQ benefits by using "upgraded" power cords, or power conditioners. . Now, you may be someone who sees/hears no value in them, that's fine. I do, but not all that I've tried have made an impact while with others it's quite apparent that they do in my systems. Unless one establishes that for oneself the rest is meaningless. Enjoy listening as best suits you

In response to the OP you wrote:

"I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF WRITING A SNARKY ANSWER TO THIS REPETITIVE QUESTION.WHEN I REALIZED NO ONE IS MAKING ME READ POSTS THAT HAVE NO INTEREST FOR ME. SO I DELETED IT. TALK AMONGST YOURSELVES." 

What an arrogant and selfish response. I have been in situations before where I have brought up subjects previously posted in depth. It happens. But instead of showing some decorum and sensitivity in directing the OP to search the archives, you had to give a dig at your impatient annoyance and wave off a fellow Audiogon member like a leaf on your driveway. Shame on you.

Since all of the good advice that has followed the above mentioned screed, you should be confident that people here will still help and be supportive despite the repetitive subject matter.

I encourage you to experiment. 
 

I tried it with Moon 390 and M400s through Sonus faber Olympica Nova Vs. I heard a difference- the noise floor dropped and specifically the lower frequencies seemed to be clearer. And I switched back and forth between the stock and the cables. I kept them. 

I didn’t expect the difference to be worth the price - it was to me.  Hence my recommendation to try and see if it is to you  

@judsauce  Now you hurt my feelings. 😭
