Sachu, I can't dispute your claim - if your hearing a difference that's all that matters.

Course I am a EE so I may be biased I will say some of the cords I see do look pretty and that does have value to it, how it affects the sound is up to you. If you like it and feel it was a good purchase then you do not need to convince me any further, it was a good purchase for you. |

Would I see any benefit from an inexpensive power conditioner such as the Monster HTS850 or HTS1000, or even just a more expensive surge protector? |
