I apologize if this violates some posting terms, but it's less work, and it gives credit where credit is due -- a thread from objectivist-friendly hydrogen audio, reporting a double-blind power cord test at hifiwigwam.com forums:

Edit: It'd be nice if a mod could change the title to reflect it was power cord test, not an interconnect test.

A quote from the initial post in the hydrogen audio thread:

Kiang's listening test is now finished. It was a listening test between power cords for high end hifi.

The insteresting part in this test was that every listener was at home, with his own hifi, far from the stressful conditions usually accused of making blind tests fail, with seven days to give one opinion about every cable, and to identify the hidden kettle lead. Listeners were also asked to rank the cables, and how much, in their opinion, is worth the best one.
There were 23 listeners, and the test lasted for 7 monthes.

The discussion is already 19 pages long.

Here is the start of the test : http://www.hifiwigwam.com/forum1/1614.html
Here is when the general results were published : http://www.hifiwigwam.com/forum1/1614-8.html#p113020
And here is the publication of the complete results : http://www.hifiwigwam.com/forum1/1614-19.html#p115713

The complete results include listeners comments about the cables. They are very interesting.
Here is a direct link to the results :

Thanks. I deleted that last link. If someone wants to see it they can go to hydrogenaudio.org or hifiwigwam.com.:eek:
