Is it all in my head??
I don't care what anyone's profession is, doesn't mean crapola! Just because one can't hear a difference with power cords or any type of interconnect, doesn't mean there isn't a sonic difference with the music one hears.It could mean they have not...

Am I missing something here?
In my opinion, one doesn't have to spend a fortune in order to have a system that performs accurately and to your liking. Perhaps you did a very good job selecting components and with your room accustics. 
Sound Anchors and Magnepan
