We seem to have strayed off track a bit, the original discussion was about power cables. These do not carry audio signal and provided they are not faulty in some way will not make any difference to the sound.
It's interesting Naim said that too for decades before realising their loyal and gullible followers would pay a King's ransom if they could come up with a half plausible story. Et voila, £560 for a trinkety power cable. It would be interesting to do a study on hifi obsessives to see whether they are particularly suggestible or prone to endlessly trying to optimise things that already work perfectly.
In the end, it appears people will hear what they want to hear, even where the claims can be dismissed as bunkum using basic physics or electrical engineering. It's like audio Trumpism.
