ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords
@vuch,  ​​@tom2015, @kerrybh,  @ghdprentice, @krelldog, @audphile1 -                                                +1 (each)         Understanding the plethora of variables we face in improving the performance of our systems, using common sense... 
ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords
     No one can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new addition.   There are simply too many variables.      LIKEWISE: no one can possibly know whether a new addition (ie: some kind of disc, cr... 
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
@ps-          What came first- the, "Yeah, but...", or: the troll?  
Full loom of the same cable brand vs mixing and matching.
@kennymacc -  As a matter of fact, I currently use three different brands of cables in my audio system with excellent results.                                                            DITTO:         Synergistic Research for my Main, monoblo...

@wesheadley  (et al)= Nothing but further Dunning-Kruger runway builders.                   Worthy of nothing but a short snort of derision and being disregarded.              Give their ilk an opportunity at a bit of education and they respond ...

@wesheadley - Unless there was something very wrong with your last power cord, or it was just a very poorly made one, you're not going to here any differences other than those that occur within your own mind via confirmation bias.             ... 
A stupid question(s) about power cords
@classicrockfan & @botrytis -                                              Once again:      Isn't it amusing: someone that doesn't even know what Physics considers the best electrical conductor, has the unmitigated gall to mention Science? ... 
Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
 ...prepare your home for potential power grid meltdown.   People lived in cold climates before electricity.        I'm all about having a generator/home power source, in the event of a power outage.   However: if what you're dependent on is no... 
Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
      Don't know if this has been covered, in all of the above rhetoric, but:       The closer one lives to the North Pole (for this event), the greater the effect of the electromagnetic disturbances.    ie: Possible blown grid transformers/power...

Should have called the cable company.    Try before you buy!                                               EXACTLY!         There are also a number of other cable manufacturers and purveyors that allow a listening period and return policy, if ...

@squared80  (et al)- Enjoy your snake oil. Anyone who says high priced power cords or speaker wire changes the sound is lying, ignorant, or a victim of confirmation bias.             Another rerun, since so many of you are a waste of keystroke...

@mikhailark - ...selected to deliver power in environment full of RF interference and when performance may literally mean life or death. They would perform well in a less hostile conditions :-)      No doubt: they're selected to dependably del...

@mikhailark -      I'm fairly certain; very little critical audio listening goes on in fighter planes.      However: here's something that NASA selected, to conduct power, for their portable LASERs.              https://homeaudio.analysis.plus... 
Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms?
       Dryers typically run on 240V, so: I 'spose they'd get a double dose of any surge. @mahgister -      Were you affected by the 1989 Quebec Solar Outage?
