audiophile power cables

[Philip34]

Considering that the AxeFx2 is a digital, rather than analog processor, how much difference would there be in using something like PS Audio power cables?

Your pocket book will be much lighter. Won't do anything for the tone. You can always pretend it sounds better.

Speed of light is higher in those cables ... wait a second ....

"The performance goals for the AC3 focus on building a musically balanced cable, specifically targeting the three main tonal areas of music: bass, midrange and treble."

Wait, they can target EQ frequencies by designing a specific power cable?!

No matter what kind of gear you have—audio, digital, whatever—"audiophile" power cables are a waste of money. There is no audible or measurable difference in sound. Except the difference people "hear" when they pay big money for something. Then, the "audiophile" power cable sounds better...as long as they know which cable they're listening to. Put 'em through a blind test, where they don't know which cable is "supposed to" sound better, and their certainty melts away.

supposedly the better power creates a 3d listening environment.

Absolutely none.

You'll get the same results by boiling your power cable in snake oil and then zapping it in a microwave oven after having it cryogenically frozen.

Thank you for the consensus, y'all.
