Do IC and Power Cables Really Make a Difference?
Reggy,I was going to type a very long response,  but the definition of crazy is repeating the same thing and expecting different results.  So, you're right, power cords don't make a difference. It's just a placebo effect! I'm selling all of my aft... 
HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
I sold two power cords within a week.  
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
I may be wrong, but the fallacy that "some" seem to be making is people are purchasing cables without listening to them in their own system. I've listened to many different cables in my system. I have never purchased cables or anything based on cost. 
Power Cords Snake Oil ??
I'll keep repeating, if you don't think power cords make an audible difference when you insert them in your system, don't purchase them. If you think they do make a difference when you insert them in your system, purchase them. Pretty simple. Who ... 
Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series).
Bob,After my home audition of the Audioquest Thunder, I decided to purchase a couple Hurricanes and Tornadoes. I had Wireworld Platinum and Silver Eclipse power cords,  had a home audition of Shunyata Sigma and Alpha power cords. Although I didn't... 
If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system?
Speakers- I would listen to Von Schweikert, Vivid Audio, and Rockport speakersAmp and preamp would be based on speaker selection - Soulution Audio or Jeff RowlandSource- Antipodes CX+EX music server, Chord Dave DAC with Blu 2Cables-TBD 
When did AudiogoN become a Showcase for The Music Room?
I purchased my center channel from TMR and they are truly outstanding.  
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
It isn’t about money to me. It’s about our experiences. If you have an opinion based on inserting different cables in your system and come to the conclusion they don’t make a difference. I can buy that and who am I to say anything different. Notic... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
It's pretty funny reading some comments on here. My really good friend has MBL speakers upstairs and Raidho downstairs. We've changed cables, including power cords and it's easy to hear the changes on both systems.  
Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series).
I talked to Audioquest, per their technical support there aren't any changes to the current Hurricane. They are looking into the possibility of a Hurricane source power cord in the distant future, if it materializes at all. 
YG Acoustics, Raihdo?
In the right room I would take Raidho over many speakers, including Magico. Raidho's have an uncanny ability to sound detailed and warm at the same time.

I had the Audioquest 1000 and Torus RM15 at the same time. All systems are different, but I suggest you try to get a hold of the RM15 and try it in your system. I did sell my RM15 and now have the Torus RM20.  
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
mitch2,I hear a little sarcasm in your comments.  I had Wireworld Platinum XLR cables and compared them to Audioquest Fire. There is a clear difference between the two. Wireworld is a neutral cable in my system. The Audioquest Fire is a more forwa... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
"We" make audio to complicated. It's actually pretty simple...if you hear a difference with cables that you prefer than purchase them. If you don't hear a difference or you hear a difference that's not to your liking,  don't purchase them. Audio i... 
insurance and shipping with UPS
FedEx isn't perfect, but I stop using UPS 10 years ago after a problem with one of their stores. I've developed a very good relationship with my local FedEx employees. They consistently go out if their way to assist me.
