powercords

I certainly have, personally, experienced the improvement power cords can make on amplifiers...how about their value on other items, such as preamps with external powersuppies, and phono preamps....I know better than to apply layperson logic, which doesn't always work in audio, but it would seem that items that draw less "juice" would be less prone to changes in power cords....thoughts welcomed, but experience more interesting to me.....thanks

Some thinner power cords are designed for source components. They are not as thick needed for the higher draw of power amplifiers,  etc.    Anyone listening to my desktop audiophile system can bring their own power cable. Connecting it to my DAC alone will change the sound every time. 

The problem is not with the power cords not doing something good.  Its with not having a system with sufficient transparency. A veiled system makes all cords sound the same.
