Some scientific evidence for power cables making a difference, other than my ears.

They make the things! Independent evidence is useful.

From the article:

NOTE: DTCD tests are an extreme test of the limits of power cord performance and do not represent normal operation into a power supply.

So I am not sure what useful information the tests provide. In general, I would be very dubious about tests carried out by the manafacturer.

The tests have no purpose other than to deceive.

Bet you that many people here will dismiss that article as "prrft" or something to that effect and won't even bother to read it. Many that do read it will say it's b0ll0cks because their ears tell them the truth.

Some of them have to make a living selling HiFi so they will of course dismiss it as only "science" and since scientists can't answer every question about the universe, therefore it must follow (to their logic) that they don't know anything for sure, especially anything about human hearing or the transmission of electricity. Funnily enough I know where I won't be going to buy my new kit.

I thought it was spot on!
