Zilla - You are on to something. Listen to your ears.
Snofun3 - OMG! If you are a "naysayer" now, you may not be... just live in disbelief. If you really ARE curious IF powercords make a difference, you own a component that had the largest improvement of all my history in power cords. The Martin Logan SL3's. If you are using the stock "tooth floss" power cords, do yourself an enormous favor and try an inexpensive power cord. It was years ago for me and I used a pair of the original Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler... They can probably be had for about $100 each. It is amazing how a few thousand dollar pair of speakers can be improved immensely by a couple hundred dollar pair of power cords. How they work? No idea. Did I seek out power cords? Nope. It was a very similar experience to Zilla's who started the thread... just didn't beleive anything could happen with a 5 or 6 foot peice of "extension cord" wrapped in nice black sheathing. Then a friend left a few extra power cords over one weekend for me to just "try and see if I can notice a difference." In that system, I would have been partially deaf to NOT notice the improvements. What those power cords did to those panels was incredible. May want to look into purchase of two $100 SR AC Master Couplers, and you can always resell them with only shipping loss if they don't contribute to the system.
One other thing I have noticed regarding power cords, sometimes the effect is much more noticable, or stronger in certain areas than others. Living in a townhome/condo area the power cords made an enormous improvment. Living in suburban housing developments they still made an improvement, although not as vast.
