I had a few Shunyata Venum power cords in my main system a few years
back. Since then, I have retired them to my HDTV and 2nd audio system.
My 65" HDTV looks better now than when I bought it years ago. Using it
on HDTV would be a quick and easy test to see the effect.

It is conflict of interest to ask audio equipment manufacturers if
changing power cords would improve sound. If they say yes, it implies
that their designs are not sufficient.

I work at a factory which has it's own power generation plant. Maybe I
should connect my audio equipment directly to the generator system of
the gasturbine. That should give some perfect sound At least my
co-workers would have a good laugh.
