Sorry to say but I find all these cable discussions (both on power cords and interlinks) not very useful. They are polluting many audio forums. They are all the same and never lead to a satisfying result. It has become a real plague, every audio forum has meanwhile been infected and suffers from it.
My opinion is that it all has to do with cognitive dissonance. A well know psychological phenomenon that is successfully exploited my many clever marketeers.
Those believers (that expensive cables do make a audible improvement, that burn-in makes the cables better) are in real insecure and are desperately seeking arguments to justify their high expenses or planned high expenses on cables. What's more easier than starting the same fruitless debate again (and again and again) on a forum?
If audiophile cables really sounded better, 'believers' would have no need at all to start discussing its merits. They would spend their time listening and enjoying the sheer magic of those cables.
