If you find a "holographic power cord", make sure you nominate the designer for a Nobel prize since they can defy physics.
In fact, all of you spending thousands on these miraculous power cords should do the same for your respective manufacturers.
Once Nobel looks into it, I'm sure the only award they win will be related to marketing prowess.
In my 20+ years as an audiophile, almost every person's system I've heard that spent thousands on a power cord sounded like crap. They are foolishly conned into thinking that a power cord will fix poor choices in gear.
Cabling can make a difference, but it usually only evidences itself if you are starting with poor quality wire/connectors or using mismatched gear over long runs. A power cord is even more dubious since no signal runs through it and any LEGITIMATE improvement would likely be indicative of a poorly designed component more than the cable itself.
Expecting to get "holographic sound" from a power cable is sheer folly (as long as we're talking in the real world of physics...not audiophile delusion).
In dealerships or at shows that sounded good and included systems with thousand dollar power cords, I've often asked them if thousand dollar power cords were necessary to get that level of performance from their gear.
Some will quickly offer to exchange out the expensive cords to show the performance of their equipment is identical.
Others give you a smirk and wink acknowledging that the industry is polluted with just as much marketing scam as legitimate engineering.
I know you clowns will parse every word of my comment and come back with countless retorts of how your system defies physics and thousand dollar power cords are worth it, so carry on. You are welcome to use my post as an excuse for self affirmation.
All I can say in reply to people so delusional is "good luck in your search".
