question on pwr cords

Tplavas, I wasn't being sarcastic, but I will comment on your last sentence.

It is not, or at least IMHO should not be, a matter of whether or not one 'believes' that PC's make a difference. A person should simply be able to clearly hear a difference if one exists. I've never been able to clearly hear a definable difference and I'm always interested in how folks who do hear a difference describe that difference.

That way, next time I try experimenting with PC's I know what to listen for. I know cables and IC's can sound different depending on design and usage, why not PC's. I just haven't heard it, yet.

Listen for the same things you listen for when auditioning any other wire or piece of gear.

Tvad, Thanks for the advise. I do just that but I think that the changes might be subtle enuf to be obscured by the 2d order harmonics of all those tubes in my systems. Besides its more fun to change tubes than PC's. :-)

Newbee, consider yourself lucky that you don't hear a diffeence among PCs. It's saving you some dough!

One day, though, it'll happen. ;)

Got a question for the 'power cord' experts. Is perhaps the reason that I have not been able to hear a meaningful difference in different heavy guage PC's due to the adequacy of the power supplies in my amps, pre amps, etc or is that not an issue?
