Dodgealum, I agree with you about the benefits of upgraded wire, and I'm glad to see another converted skeptic.
I believe Psychicanimal may be inferring that Audience power cords are repackaging of considerably less expensive wire, but that's just conjecture on my part. There have been many challenges by some Audiogon members to cut open high end wire, yet none ever seem willing to do it themselves.
Anyway, welcome to the enlightenment!
