I now say that the answer to the original question is yes, they do matter, to some people some of the time in some systems. But they are not guranteed to work for anyone and even when they do the results will potentially be different for different people.

 
Care to speculate as to the mechanism behind such differences?

 
 

Not being deaf?

 Totally joking here and just balancing the equation. LOL, I'll go with that consensus.

Wake me when someone who doesn't sell power cables gets his hands on it.

I was reading that article impartially until I noticed they're glorifying a $6600 wooden rack on the first page, that is supposed to make your music sound better... and they even call it cheap.
 
It's a rack, guys, a rack.

Probably not wise to get into the whole microphonics debate - that's a whole separate issue.
 
6 moons though definitely offer you Kool-Aid.  racks aren't the most outrageous tweaks they market (and with tube amps racks have an influence on the performance of equipment)  Anyone who wants to read about a $6k rack already drank the whole jug of Kool-Aid and asked for seconds.

Put a turn table on a shelf from K-mart. Play a song with some thundering bass. See what happens.

Put a turn table on a shelf that costs $6,600. See your wife murder you in your sleep.

I found it to be nothing but smoke and mirrors. Not one iota of meaningful information in that article.
 
If they wanted to demonstrate something meaningful, they'd show the effects on the performance of an actual piece of audio equipment. But they don't. Instead they only focus on the power cord dog and pony show.
 
Care to guess why?

Lol, that's objective truth in it's purest sense.  Completely irrefutable.
