If ya can't hear a diff with various power cords... things should be far cheaper for ya.
I do hear diffs with power cords.
I always do blind testing when I get cables from the Cable Co. as they all arrive at the same time, and I can't read the tags on them. Same way with ICs. But that's just me.
it's a good thing I think however, and I'd reccomend people start doing just that... don't look! Just listen... after the initial bloom wears off from the first few days of integration of the ??? cable.
The results from not looking, might well be beneficial.
The one obstacle to all this how long it takes for a cable to run in... and then run in on the component you wish to hear it on... adapters help on the former... paitience and time are the only paths for the latter. I find the second or third session of playing a well run in cable on a particular conponent is about all that's needed... they're usually acquainted well by then.
The caveat is finding "better", as different is always handy. Pluggin back in the existing cable once again is prerequisite before a 'final' decision should be made.
Aural memory is not what I'd depend on when the $$$ is getting up there, and the betterment is succombing to but marginal increments.
