It could be,
Some DIY trial and test. However we don't know what knowledge is backing it up.
Ie just some examples, eddy currents in materials, adding inductance to Earth cables slowing the operation of fusing for ADS. Double insulation of mains cables and correct colour codes. Correct current rating of cables and fuse protection.
Safety always comes before any sound enhancement.
Obviously the electrical codes are different in various countries.
Playing with mains cables is not a good idea when you realise the fault current available if something goes wrong.

The difference is that selling expensive tat to audiophiles is legal (in the UK, at least). I understand that product advertising either has to be true (or so vague as to be unfalsifiable), or so obviously false that an ordinary sensible person will realise that it is just marketing puffery. Trading Standards are more interested in fake branding than fake technical claims.
Use copper, it's FAR cheaper and works just as well. Having plated connectors is a good idea as they make better contact. As long as the gauge is up to the job, even slightly larger the audible difference will be zero.
For F***s sake, your house is wired with copper and the supply from the transformer in your street is most likely copper, the feed from the power station is probably aluminium, do you really think that a few feet of any guru nonsense is going to make any difference.
Now supplying the amp boards themselves from the DC supply in the amplifier can make a difference.

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME - THIS IS ONLY FOR COMPARATIVE THOUGHT.
If you were to wire your amplifier using the same Twin and earth as is used inside the walls of your house, you would make absolutely no difference to the electrical supply to your amplifier.

I can't believe that you have an earth wire wrapped around the mains cable.
If the earth prong were to become disconnected in the mains plug and a fault develop, you would have a potentially live cable just waiting to kill someone.

Writing it in big red letters doesn't make it any less nigerian sounding and you are the one who said FUFUTECH in post 13.
silver for mains cable ? ouch
I tried that once, and it did not sound good 🙁
and that was not even a joke 😛 copper sounds better 😉
now probably I will be banned for saying that
btw, by correct phase I did not mean correct wire color, but which wire connects to either side of the trafo
that matters, if you are exstremely critical

These cables are connected to the amplifier in the bedroom
Home cinema ARCAM AVR 300- DALI IKON 6
Again
Wrong answer 😉
Ahh so the snake oil has drained down to those fuses, should have stayed with copper it's waterproof.
Dazz, do you actually know what electricity is ?

I know I'm probably going to try to build a linear power supply.
For audio circuit +9v -9v
based onToraidl transformer for the project I'm doing at the moment on 2900 DENON DVD
May be circuit bending would be a better starting point.
No electronic knowledge needed but for safety sake only try to circuit bend battery-operated things.
