Not true at all. Outside of certain audiophile site bubbles, plenty of audiophiles, audio enthusiasts etc don't hear any difference between power cables.
Then there are those of us who have "heard" obvious differences, but through more careful testing, realized it was our imagination.Of course, we are the fallible ones; the infallible don't even have to test themselves ;-)
The problem is that the technical claims tend to be marketed to audiophiles who typically don't have the technical know-how to vet the claims. They get that cool sounding technical story and think "wow, that sounds convincing, sure looks like they know what they are talking about!" Then of course they "hear" the effects.
I certainly include myself among those not technically competent to vet the claims of these high end cable sellers. But that's why I try to look at the opinions of those who know more than I. Instead of just being impressed by the marketing spiel of a cable company, I've done my best to look at other opinions. In a nutshell, I've seen the technical claims made by Shunyata shredded to pieces numerous times by people with actual knowledge in the field of electronics. (And who aren't trying to sell cables - who can look at the claims and say "they are pulling the wool over the eyes of anyone who doesn't know better).
It seems many audiophiles mostly look to have their biases and subjective experience confirmed, so if the spiel sounds compelling, and they believe they heard a difference....case closed.
And the Cable Sellers sell cables for thousands of dollars and live happily ever after ;-)
Every audiophile who has experimented with better power cables has heard the performance advantage they offer.

Shunyata Research has become a dominant force in the power delivery field. Owner and designer, Caelin Gabriel is clearly one of the luminaries in the industry.....
