Besides, every purist knows "single ended" sounds better than "balanced" but not everyone will agree..

Whether single-ended sounds better than balanced, or vice-versa, is a matter of design and execution of components in the chain and cables [emoji2]

For sure!
In fact, isn't that pretty much true about nearly everything in audio? It's all about execution.

True balanced/differential operation has distinct advantages - some of them even measurable!

Absolutely.

How about "balanced power conditioners"? Not that I had a problem with my AC to begin with (that I could hear as any manifestation of hash, grittiness, edginess or a glare in the system) but my power conditioner is balanced. Why not? Sounds good to me.

Isolation Ground：Since balanced power these voltages are of opposite polarity though, and given that most interference in a typical AC line
is common between the two lines, the noise in the lines is eliminated when the two lines are added together. This is effectively known as
Common Mode Rejection (CMR).

I also have a Transparent, Wireworld, Guerilla Audio and Zebra Cables with various conductor and Wattgate terminations. No difference in sound between any of them and not for the lack of trying. If it takes a $7k power cord to hear a difference, then I am not at that level.

PHC1, I was the one who started this post. Not only did I start the thread it was my first post since I joined the forum. I posted my question in this thread because I needed some knowledge and advice about Shunyata Research. I have received some fantastic advice in the last three months since my first post. Ivan and the rest of the AA family has taking my system to the next level. As far as you are concerned I really don't appreciate you telling me how a fuse can or can't affect the performance of my system. Who are you to judge me or my system for that matter on how spending 15K on Shunyata Research products will or won't sound any different than using a factory power cable to the wall. I can absolutely tell you that adding a Everest and a Sigma V2 XC to my system has transformed it to another level in every way from top to bottom. In fact It liked so much for what it did to my system that I will be ordering a Omega XC in the very near future. It would be easy for me to to say something negative about your system, but that is not what this forum and community is about. Everybody has been so nice and helpful to me and I have learned so much over the last few months. Thanks to everyone for there help and advice on getting my system to the next level of performance. And with everything going on in the world and here in the states, I would hope we can try to get along a little better. Happy Listening

Call me addicted. once again I am shocked on the Shunyata Research power cables. I just recieved my Sigma V2 XC for my Everest, it replaced a Sigma V1 NR and the change was not subtle. Taller and wider sound stage and the bass- WOW!!! I was so impressed with Sigma XC that I emailed Ivan and ordered a Omega XC(I just gotta know). I plan on putting the Sigma XC on the Denali V2 which will be used for my source components. Once again thanks to everyone on the forum for you guidance and support. Happy Listening
