What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear

You just hit the nail on the head...and that is all you need to power up that amp/pre that so many here just spent a small fortune on. If that expensive highend amp/pre needed an after market anaconda power cord to sound it's best? Then the designers of said gear never heard their design at it's best..does that make sense?

Compared to the much of the animal kingdom, human beings have pretty terrible hearing. We have poor powers of echolocation, especially for sounds that come from behind us, we can only hear a relatively narrow bandwith of 20Hz-20kHz, and we’re easily fooled by illusions.But perhaps the most convincing tricks are the ones we play on ourselves. Expectation is one of the most powerful forces in shaping our perception, and it’s the reason that the same wine tastes better if we’re told it costs $90 instead of $10. The same goes for our stereo systems if you show an audiophile an anaconda sized power cord and compare it visualy to an genric cord. Which one do u believe he/she will pick out as being the best sounding? This is why blind testing works best determining if changes made are viable.

I think living under a bridge would be fine. My mouth waters thinking of all that bridge cable.

Because I believe in an actual science of acoustics. I must despise this hobby? You sir are a naive idiot. Who in your ignorance believes in not a truth but what you consider the truth. It's your dough spend it as you like. But to ignore common sense and the natural laws of science is complete looney.

then y not pick out that favorite power cord of yours in a double blind test...u want to bet the farm on that 1...I am guessing u wouldn't put up a dime...I notice that most of u like to open a nice brew while listening to your favorite toons. I am guessing that it helps u forget how much you paid for that silver 3ft 5" in diameter power cord that's no better then the cord that came with that five figure amp...that most likely ain't no better then an amp costing far less..I know you all want to hear what you would like everyone to hear, that's so you can pat yourself on the back for being an outstanding individual. Maybe your mothers told you that you had divine powers, or you think you're a descendant of the amazing kreskin. Many debunked fortune tellers have been outed by James Randi. You can watch it on youtube and really feel somewhat embarrassed for them. As they the psychics do their best when straining their brains trying desperately with no better then a guess. I would love to see some of you sanctimonious fools fold like a cheap camera. Squirming and sweating buckets of water while you twist in your seats trying your best to pick out that divine cable that is no better than a two dollar a ft cable from HD. But in reality you will find fault with the test. Go back to your same old ways, thumbing your nose and digging into your pockets for fairy dust with a tinker bell mentality.
