Even though people will argue about power cords, "can't make a difference/do make a difference", I'd say this: These days it's pretty easy to try one for free + the cost of shipping (and how much can it cost to ship a pc?). Do that and give an opinion. I don't mind investigating theory but to argue it seems stupid. Test it with your ears, if it makes a difference to "YOU", buy it.
Nuff said. Here is what I have experienced.
I have the 30.5 and 100.5's. I like the old Volex cord with the brass blades but you can't buy it anymore. I tried and bought Audio Arts Power 1 (with the copper Furutech ends) a few years ago. That's what I have been using on my 30.5. Currently trying out Shunyatas Venom 3 (1 week so far). First few days were a little rough, now sounding better. At the "we'll see" stage.
"Do they make a difference"? I've heard cords in the past take my system a step(s) backward, so "there" is a difference and it wasn't a good one. When I have gotten an improvement, it's been subtle. My DNA won't let me spend more than a few hundred on pc, I think I can spend my money better elsewhere but I have been happy with my whole system for years now so it is time to experiment with the little things.
