I don’t think power cables should be as mysterious as they are. There are a lot of good suggestions in this thread, but I have yet to see a published scientific study covering any of these ideas in depth. I agree with nonoise that it’s a possibility we just don’t yet know how or what to measure to understand certain complex phenomena in the world of audio reproduction.
Don’t worry about that, I’m too far down the rabbit hole. Save yourself! After hearing the change in sound when I swapped from stranded core to solid core speaker cables, my curiosity was peaked. After that was experiencing differences in RCA cables.
@ mkgus
Please produce any published credible 3rd party testing results that show why, how, speaker cables and interconnects have an impact on the sound of an audio system. You can’t..... It’s just theory. No measurements, just theory. But you know they make a difference from listening to them and have accepted that they do make a difference. But you really don’t know why. So why are you hung up on why power cords make a difference? You yourself said you can hear differences.
You have yet, unless I misses the post, described the differences you hear when using an aftermarket power cord compared to a stock OEM power cord.
Please explain the differences you hear.
