The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance


This is a journey through real life experiences from you to everyone that cares to educate themselves. I must admit that I was not a believer in power cords and how they affect sound in your system. I from the camp that believed that the speaker provided 75% of the sound signature then your source then components but never the power cord. Until that magic day I along with another highly acclaimed AudioGoner who I will keep anatomist ran through a few cables in quite a few different systems and was "WOWED" at what I heard. That being said cable I know that I am not the only believer and that is why there are so many power cord/cable companies out there that range from $50 to 20-30 thousand dollars and above. So I like most of you have to scratch my head and ask where do I begin what brand and product and what should i really pay for it?

The purpose of this discussion to get some honest feed back on Price to Performance from you the end user to us here in the community.

I like the Wire World Electra 7 on my Dac.It does filter noise and replaced a Jvc digital cable.I don't care for them elsewhere in the system.
Miller and glennewdick you have me wondering if anyone has ever used a gas generator to power their system.Just curious...
@blumartini  please update about the friend in Hawaii and his generator.I'm really curious if that would provide clean power.
Thank you @Iwin and @blumartini  for the responses.So it seems like a generator supplies a good steady stream of power but requires noise filtering,which I thought it might.I appreciate you taking the time to indulge my curiosity.
I'm wondering if it will be a "thing" someday - audiophile solar generators to power systems.

Conclusion and Novel Thought for All:
I would think that by now it would be in everyone/s best interest if the manufacture would lay out what model should best coexist with what brand sound signature and what the consumer should expect to hear along with a 30 day total satisfaction guarantee as does only a few do out there.
