cable upgrades , real or rip off


im sure this has been done to death on other threads, but im somewhat new to the high end audio thing. but i must ask do these items make a huge diff. , a small one or something in between. i cant help but asking myself why when a company is trying to produce a knockout item such as a intgrated amp that costs say 3000.00 would they skimp on something like a 300.00 powercord if it would make there product sound that much better?

Spend your money on the equipment!
Spending it on interconnects/PC cord is no a wise choice of investment.
Though I do agree that the better interconnects and PC cords DO sound better, they are not the best bang for the buck when one could spend one's cash on better electronics that will be better than the lesser electronics and a bunch of expensive interconnect.
I stick with entry level interconnects that are well known like Nordost Blue Heaven, or Kimber PBJ/Hero.. even KCAG.
Though if you have an amp or whatever you really enjoy, a cord might do something for you...
As for chairs etc, I find the biggest change is when I wrap the speaker cables around my neck. Tight enough and the sound just makes me swoon! Whoo Hoo...
