I then switched the power cable on the amplifier to use
the Isotek cable. Immediately there was an improvement
in dynamics, percussion in particular had much more
presence and depth.

I switched back to the standard IEC cable and listened
again to ensure that there was in fact a difference and
that I wasn't imagining things. The sound seemed flat
after switching back.

Next I tried the standard cable with filtered plug. This
again made quite a dramatic difference to dynamics.
Perhaps not quite so much as the Isotek cable, but that
may be the psychological bit coming into play. But maybe
not, as later tests showed.

Did you measure anything objectively with instruments?

Test instruments? Nahh, being a typical golden ear Glenn blew it all on
tweeks and overpriced high end components.

Anything at all? Doesn't it ever cross your mind how
remarkable it is that after the mains current has
travelled all those miles underground and overhead, the
last few feet can make such a difference?

Think of it this way - here's Glenn's opportunity to wrestle with science
and being judge and jury, declare himself the winnner.

Are you sure you're really hearing what you think you're hearing?

Of course he does - self-doubt comes with self-awareness.
