Power Cord Revelation

Quick, GET JAMES RANDI IN HERE! :)
Welcome to the "Power Cable Club"!

I recently swapped out the stock cord on my Revel Sub30 with an Airsine and EVERYTHING seemed to improve, along with the obvious improvement in the bass. Subs with an active crossover (like my Sub30) seem benefit from a good cord across the spectrum.

Does anyone have an explanation for how a single power cord can transform the sound of an entire system? This defies logic for me. I've focused on what I consider crucial areas to build a good sounding audio system - well designed components, acoustical treatments, resonance control, dedicated power lines, and a balanced power conditioner. I wasn't prepared for the results that I'm hearing from this new power cord. Are there any quantum physicists that can explain or do we just have to accept it as one of natures unexplained mysteries?

You will get no real scientific explanations, only psuedo-science, but yes, it is real. I fought it for years before listening for myself about 6 years ago. I am now of the same mindset that you are, that the power cord makes more of a difference than interconnects or speaker cables.

Even after hearing and believing, I still can't understand why, after traveling miles through crappy wire, the last 6 feet would make any difference. I've learned to just file it under unexplained mysteries.

Cheers,
John

Mootsdude,
Trust your ears. Forget about all that other stuff. There's a lot of stuff we don't understand, doesn't mean it's not happening. Enjoy!
