It really could be... I mean when I use a normal extension cord with my Christmas tree lights they just don't seem to be as vibrant as when I use the $10000 cable. Colours pop more, subtle hues encapsulate the room more intuitively and the flash cycle seems more in tune with my spiritual harmony plus the time domain of the music I am listening to.
Happy cable hunting these holidays everyone, the truth is out there.

Do we have a once a year speaker cable thread? Or interconnects? Or other stupid stuff?
I prefer threads about the sonic qualities of IEC receptacles.

Certainly when I order a new cable I have to pay in advance

Who wants to buy something called “Excorcist” for XMas. Do you want to jinx the new year? Hell no.

When you really want to know.... and this was a serious 'finding'
Put the speakers next to each other in front of you.
Play music in mono.
Compare the sound.
Then only swap the cables and repeat.
The main issue in the post is the assumption that mains cables can make an audible difference which goes against everything that is known about mains cables.
This means it is a perception thingy and to find out you need to level the playing field.

If power cables don't make a difference, explain this!
See, they even have cable elevators!
Take that, objectivists!!!!!1111

Happy holidays!
I might be the grid-cable interactions. Due to the length change in the cables, one of them might be resonating with one of the synchronous generators at the power plant near your home, while the other one might be out of sync. Trying moving to another home and see if the difference is still there.

Depends. Is it AAA AC or DDD AC?
You need to break in the nearest power plant too.

Oh my god, another year went by already? It just felt as if I had seen one, just the other day. Oh well, time flies, I guess.
does not hurt actually. not definitely every day or even every month, but if we need to remind beginners that cables do not matter (in sound quality), we do itDo we have a once a year speaker cable thread? Or interconnects? Or other stupid stuff?

Just the thought of it makes my head spin.

It could also be a problem with mismatched power sockets, maybe some impurities in the metal contacts affecting the plankton. Ask Danny at GR for advice on that.
The reason for slight off-balance between the channels is obvious. New high-end power cables use transperambulation to optimize the flow of power. The problem You describe occurs, when the transperambulation process is not properly adjusted. Unfortunately, it can not be fixed by end users, so You have to return it to the place of purchase, and ask them to re-adjust it.

Is he the same guy who created the coveted The Gryphon Black Exorcist?
That more a reflection of people not looking for an existing thread/subject first?
I guess for the short attention span folk.....
Well, many of them went from two to three conductors, sometime in the 1960's.
Earth was added to Hot and Neutral.
