that’s what I do…cardiac ablation etc…intracardiac signals…ultrasound images etc.
we dont care bout power cords and im not aware of anyone else in our field that is concerned with them. Ive been doing this close to 30 years.
that being said I have 2 mid priced power cords on the way for my amps.
Interesting. I have firsthand experience of cardiac ablation. I did not enjoy it!
If as a patient I’m not surprised
I used to think power cord were meh,but someone local brought a few up to my house for me to try,when I tryed them and restarted listening to a dire straits track,in the middle of the song a long guitar solo kicked in and instantly heard a diffrence,more detail but I was thinking maybe this was jst a placebo and jst imaging it,so I asked the guy if he heard any difference before I said anything and he said the guitars sounded better so the two of us heard the same thing,obviously I bought them
@Chris_Davis2 post clearly makes sense. Criticise the argument rather than denigrating the author.

Criticizing arguments is a long past station in this thread, it is like whipping a dead horse.
Argument and believe have proven a toxic combination.
The only way i have a difference when using other power cables in my system, is when i use them or not.
Thus having power or no power to my components, resulting in sound or no sound.
That people perceive the tiniest differences with power cables is fantastic and/or bad news for those people.
Good news that they have an upgrade path and bad news that they have to spend $$$ to get to the next level.
It is also good news for the $$$ cable and equipment industry, being able to sell “solutions” for $$$.
Me, i do not “believe” the hype.
I like to think the power cable is a component of the internal power supply and not an extension of the power grid. This allows for more probability of change in sound.
Me neither.
Do you really mean that?
There is no difference either way, but you think that is does because of your view on placement of that cable???
If one thinks that a short power cable attached to a power grid can change the sound then I feel that is improbable. If a short power cord is attached to a dc supply then I feel there is more probability it could affect the sound providing one feels power supply design affects the sound. I am not saying power cables change the sound, only allowing for a possibility.
No, cables don’t change the sound (and excuse me for getting into this discussion because I promised myself I would never argue the point).
A good power cable gives you more depth and detail. It doesn’t change the performance, the sound or the music as such. That’s my last word here. Thank you for your attention.

Are depth and detail not a part of the sound?

Depends who you are asking.

No it is a perception of sound. Not the sound itself. You are an audiophile, aren’t you ?
Maybe, but maybe not given I still have no idea what you’re talking about. If the sound remains the same, how can the perception of that sound change? Unless I’m mistaken “depth and detail” are features that we extract from sound. If the sound doesn’t change, then neither should the depth and detail.

I said earlier that I don’t want to get into this kind of discussion anymore. So sorry to have reopened the subject. I leave you with your questions. Others will probably want to answer. And then: don’t be so lost in your audiophile life 
(no offense, right). Only enjoy the music.
I’m willing to bet that that isn’t the case
Don’t be sorry. A core part of the audiophile experience seems to be listening to people make cryptic declarations which they then refuse to explain.

I’ve been mulling this one over and I think that the argument is possibly obscured by terminology. It’s possible that it’s the recording or source signal that doesn’t change, but that’s not the sound. Sound is vibrations in the air and that’s likely to change between renderings of the same source signal on the same components due to environmental variations. This line however:
leads me to believe that we’re talking about variations in perception of the same sound. Now I’d have to take issue I think. Real changes in detail and depth must mean a change in the sound. As an example, in my view changing speaker position might give improvements in the soundstage, but the sound has changed. If we’re just talking perception then it’s down to differences in listening devices (not all ears are created equal, even the ones on either side of the same head) or processing devices, i.e. brains.
That’s enough rambling, a little clarification on the terms would help please @KDM. Thanks.
Yeah, let’s all meet up on post 2000
