Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Paperw8, thank you for your opinion. 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Zaikesman, let us consider what might "qualify" someone as a reviewer. Would it be an EE degree, years of experience in audio, experience as a dealer in audio, knowing many manufacturers, being wealthy enough to not be bought to give a good review...

Dave, I write for StereoTimes. I did write for Dagogo and for SoundStage. Let's just say they didn't work out. I am the only Norm on StereoTimes list. 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Paperw8, science is to explain observations. People hear a difference, the question for science is why? I strongly suggest that the easy rules of EE fail to account for all that is important.But in audio reproduction the quest is realism. If a com...

Mrtennis, "if you compare the comments you can discern the affect of the amplifier change upon the stereo system, but you cannot describe the sound of either amplifier." There is no need to do so. There was a benefit of the second amp over the fir...

Douglas_schroeder, you say that Mrtennis is saying, "I can't really determine what this component sounds like because I used it in a system, and I have no clue what it might sound like in your system. Weight my comments accordingly."Apart from the...

Mapman, I think by your logic on pcs not making any sound, only speakers would have a sound. 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Rwwear, I do entirely agree that one cannot compare a large number of cables. But two is no problem. But this is a different issue than saying cables are over-engineered and that cable design is not rocket science implying that differences between...

Rwwear, life is uncertain. 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Rwwear, yours is just one side of the constant argument about hearing differences. I just compared two identical cables other than one using long linear crystal copper and the other silver, anyone who could not hear the improvement of the silver s...

Mapman, I only alluded to NASA because of this trite phrase, not rocket science. I do know a guy that used to be in NASA who got surplus electrical wire, he prefers newer stuff. He assured me that current capacity was not their only concern. 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Mapman, I'm sorry, but as I said that doesn't make your case. I doubt seriously given my experiences that many pcs are well engineered or as I would prefer, designed. As we know from NASA, neither are rockets perfectly designed and trajectories pe... 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Mapman, you say much, such as pcs being overengineered, just overpriced, and not a good value. I am quite comfortable with you holding those as your personal opinions but they have no credence as to being true. I have no idea why you might argue t... 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
Mrtennis, is there a definitive conclusion to anything in music reproduction? I always think it is ironic that we only use our eyes rather than our ears in these groups. Certainly no one can demonstrate here the superiority of one brand of pcs, ic... 
Modern Linestages
Charles1dad, I think it would be a communist who would say that capitalists are ripping off the consumers. Socialists merely want to use government to counter extreme capitalism and to provide services.Under capitalism the buyer is expected to see...
