Canare 4S11
With all due respect, you are a bit naive. First thing I learned when I got into the high-end audio business over 45 years ago...price sometimes makes no difference. I guess this is the case where you're right, and a whole lot of people are wr... 
Canare 4S11
I am not sure why all the hypes about the Canare.  It looks just like an ordinary set of cable that you can purchase at Home Depot.  If something is too good to be true, then there's a reason for doubt.  I may be a bit naive, but if somebody is sa... 
If Power Cords Don't Matter...
One would think that they could put a scope (or A2D) on the power coming out the end of that cord… and then actually see some things that are other than 60 Hz (or 50Hz) being removed.If I was able to see some high frequency noise on the bad cord... 
If Power Cords Don't Matter...
They are actually afraid of trying out new cables for fear that they will be proven wrong.   
If Power Cords Don't Matter...
But if it doesn't, would that represent all power cords performance? Probably not. 
If Power Cords Don't Matter...
Please leave out the $50 Amazon waste of money power cord.I suppose you don't believe that the cheap Amazon power cords will improve the sound?  
If Power Cords Don't Matter...
Get the largest gauge you can. Can anyone care to explain why that would be?  Imagine the tiny little fuse between power cable and your equipment.  Wouldn't it be a bottleneck?  Then why would a power cable make any difference that whatever cu... 
If Power Cords Don't Matter...
+1 for cheap power cords from Amazon. For $50 per power cord, even if it won’t satisfy you, you only lose $50 which is miniscule when it comes to HiFi.  They are made in China but most of them are very decent in quality.I got some myself and they ...

Most people especially those who don't have background in EE think that electricity is like water, but that is a wrong analogy.  How electricity flows is not very obvious.  Unlike water, before you turn on the switch, the electrons are already in ... 
PS Audio FR-30 Speaker...
They are a bit odd looking for sure.  The look could be polarizing.   
IsoAcoustics, B&W 805D3, and Harbeth 30.2
I am not sure how the feet could have made a difference to the treble.  Usually better feet would tighten up the bass, but I don't quite understand its affect on the treble.  Hm... 
Speaker Wire for Popular Budget System
Is this the same speaker here:https://www.crutchfield.com/S-0nLT41xyX9Y/shopsearch/klipsch_rp600m.html?XVINQ=GW2&XVVer=T44&...Well, I am not sure it's worth the trouble.  The speakers are sold for 699 per pair.  You may end up spending mor... 
Break-In is Brutal
While I don't dispute the effect / necessity of break-in, a bad cable will sound bad no matter how much break-in you give.  An new BWM won't drive like an Yugo during it's first 200-500 hours, just saying. I may disagree if only a little.  I o... 
New cables - To judge now or after burn in period?
By the way, what's the difference between SilTech and SilNote cables?  The names sound too familiar. 
DIY PCs
You can get very meaningful improvement from some low cost PC on Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/WAudio-Hi-End-Audio-Power-Cable/dp/B01L2MBYWC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&ke...=
