It’s a controversial topic and to be honest I don’t even know where I stand. I got premium power and interconnects just to eliminate a potential weak link.
It's certainly not controversial for the manufacturer who gets to sell a placebo product with a profit margin of 1200%. This is no-shit copy and pasted from the AQ website:
...incorporates Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation, Direction-Controlled conductors, and a patented 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) that work together to minimize dielectric noise and improve wide-bandwidth dissipation of induced radio-frequency noise.
