seems straightforward and reasonable to listen to a piece of audio equipment and then
develop an opinion on how it sounds. Unfortunately, due to the complex way that we humans
take in sensory information and then combine it with prior knowledge and experience, the
resulting perception may be incorrect. If we really want to know how something sounds, we
must separate out prior knowledge and visual cues and force ourselves to only use our ears.
This is why we do the test blind. Our eyes play a HUGE role in our perceptions of audio
quality. Counter intuitive? Yes, but true.
Now there are perfectly good reasons to buy expensive power cords. For one they look cool.
The better it looks, the better it sounds. (This has been shown to be the case in studies that
compare sighted to blind tests using identical equipment.) Another reason to buy them is that
they cost a lot. They are status symbols. Status is good in our culture. Fear is another
reason. Fear of not doing everything you can to get the best sound.' Of course there is plain
old faith. If you believe that they make your stereo system sound better, then they do! If
having them makes you feel better, makes you more relaxed when you listen to music, gives
you comfort in knowing that you have left no stone unturned in your pursuit of musical
enjoyment, by all means, go for it!
