Someone Explain The Need for High-Priced Power Cords

[jibucha]

Hello

Nice to read your thoughts.

Simply, I wish that you were in my area. Were you, I would conveniently arrange to bring you a high quality power cord, to evaluate in your system, which is less than ten foot long; and let you decide for youself whether there is a difference and value, or not. Not very difficult, and I have no idea what you might decide, however, I would expect a favorable experience.

I completely understand your perspective and have extensively studied the entire power system from the line transformer to the house and within. The logic is simple, and easily comprehensible; but there is more.

I want to be clear here, that I am not implying that pricey or hype cables are significant; only that properly engineered and manufactured power cables factually improve both the picture quality and sound quality, although just a short length of the entire power system in the household.

Proving this is simple and obvious to anyone in my experience; that is neither biased or trying to prove a point.

Additionally, it is not my intent to argue this issue, which is entirely mental; only to provide helpful information. I have no interest in either arguing or debating these issues. What I prefer, is to demonstrate to anyone with a sincere interest, that objectively, there is a reliable difference that in my experience is appreciated and valued once experienced.

Thank You

I'm talking about plugging a standard power cable into a standard wall outlet. I've yet to hear convincing arguments that in this situation, a 'high-quality' power cable will do you any good. It's no different than connecting a 200lb rated chain to a long length of 50lb rated chain. The 200lb rated chain doesn't magically make the rest of the chain stronger, does it?

Now, if you have a dedicated circuit with upgraded wiring, power conditioners, etc..., I can see there may be an advantage to using a higher quality power cord. Simply saying "I can prove the advantage in a lab" does not mean it is applicable in a real-world application.

By the way, I'm not considering any type of power cord upgrade. To me, this is as big of a money waster as buying "certain" HDMI cables. I've just been curious to know why some do, and what the science is behind it in the real world. From the other posts, I believe I have a better understanding...somewhat.
