Do mains cables make a difference??

[Marco]

I've no doubt that some of the differences I have heard in interconnects or speaker cables have been imaginary. But it is possible for those things to sound different, you can deliberately make them sound different. Not only that but plenty of people have passed ABX tests on these items.

They are conveying the signal that you are eventually going to hear, the mains cable isn't. You are comparing apples and oranges.

Not really. In my experience, *everything* in a hi-fi system matters (and therefore potentially makes a difference), so I'd no sooner use 'freebie interconnects' or bell wire, than I would a poorly designed and constructed mains lead, which for me isn't fit for purpose.
