In Reply to: I can hear power cord differences too.... posted by gusser on April 24, 2012 at 11:09:53:
from my memory on each other their A/B tests....
they played a track intro twice, then switched the equipment. then played twice again. they may have gone back and forth a few times.
at the time I chalked the power cord up to "cryogenic treatment".
most of their other tests I couldn't distinguish a difference. I realize "auditory memory" is at play and also that a double blind would be more accurate.
Of the 5 or more pieces they swapped in and out, the only time I heard an auditory difference was with the power cords...the standard issue 16 ga black cheapies vs their $1k (or more) cord...and like I said, it was an obvious change.
It could be due to the length of the cable, shielding, the conductor, etc etc etc.... I liked the idea of snubbers on the secondary eliminating the majority of the difference in sound concept....seemed like it at least put a reasonable explanation on what I heard.
I'm content with Beldon power cords, or anything heavy and up to the job. I don't use an IEC.
