You obviously don't understand the nature of the American Congress. What you call pathological dysfunction is instead the very essence of how our government works. It depends on there utimately being an agreement by the various parties to a solution amenable to all. It isn't always perfect or pretty, but there is no other system anywhere there is better or fairer.
I hope those of you that are interesting in aftermarket power cords vs stock power cords can watch this video from Jay. Lots of good information here and Jay is honest and fair, he could live with stock power cords. Also he does not sell any of the brand of power cords in this video. He talks about what he hears from different brands of power cords. Hope you enjoy this video!
Now I get what rick is about

With which power amps? Purifi class-D mono blocks? IOW, its probably not just the power cord. Its the power cord and the amp combined. So its not helpful to only talk about the power cords.
Mark, I don't ever remember him using those amps, he has been using Boulder. He has used aftermarket power cords on all his equipment not just amps.
Seeing where it´s coming from, I expected something ridiculous.
I was not disappointed.
Okay, but the YouTube videos you linked to were for power amps? Something else?
Apparently Boulder amps may be sensitive to power cords.**
That's not all:
"But nothing made by mere mortals is perfect, and every audio product, despite its designers' best intentions, "sounds." I think that the 2150's sound does have an overall character, and that that character is somewhat dry, and lacking the ultimate in musical flow. It reproduced precise attacks and ear-popping decays, but the sustains of notes between those attacks and decays were less than fully expressed."
"By comparison, my reference monoblocks, darTZeel's NHB-458s, don't grip quite as tightly as the Boulders, nor do they achieve the 2150s' levels of transparency and solidity. What they deliver so well, especially for solid-state amps, is music's liquidity and natural flow—due to their more generous sustain. You can't have everything."
Writing like that in a review is typically a veiled warning to make sure this thing is really what you want. Just sayin'

It's really a shame that troll on a marketing mission is allowed by moderators to destroy thread that had promise to provide some answers.
Here is a video I enjoy much more. It contains more truth in any single second, than any entire video by Shunyata, AudioQuest or that sketchy Jay.
On the side note, I simply adore his Australian English. 🙂
But he does sell power conditioners and consulting services and uses youtube as his advertising channel.
Funny that...
When Fremer reviews are being used to try and forward a theory you know that all hope has already been abandoned.
That´s honest.
Sadly it means your claims of hearing anything significative through it disappear, by own admission.
Talk about shooting your own foot.
That tells more about you than about them.
A broken thermometer can always show 100C, whether you put it in ice or boiling water.
You already put your own system out of the question.
As of the others, WHO knows them?
The silliest "proof" anybody could imagine.
You can´t make these things up.
Do you reread what you type afterwards?
Are you aware how silly it sounds?
No ..... maybe you don´t.
Don´t worry, you won´t.
And you know (or guess) it, that´s why you desperately avoid any tests, measurements, confirmations, even plain pictures.
ALL you do is brag hidden behind a keyboard, with ZERO proof.
Same here.
I do not understand, AT ALL, how moderators allow and encourage Forum credibility DESTRUCTION by allowing and helping these stupid divisive 700 post threads, which to boot are always fuelled by the same 4 or 5 Trolls.
Me too.
FWIW I had to unlearn it, go figure.
Actually, "pathological dysfunction" pretty much hits the nail on the head (irrespective of parties.) IMO, the type of behavior that has been trending, and is happening now, is much what the country was founded to prevent. Not that this is - or has been - unique to the US; historically those that want power seek it and go to increasingly less moral means to keep it.
Now, back to the important things... audiophoolery and asshattery.
