Many would point to well-measuring, cheap gear from overseas and call Benchmark gear that cost many-fold snake oil.
If an experienced audiophile, in a blind test, can easily and repeatedly tell power cord A vs B and likes one more, who are we to tell him he is wrong?

This is why it doesn't hurt to do personal ABX testing, just to gain confidence that the differences you're hearing are actually there.

So far as I can tell, they are high quality, perform well (very well in many cases), and are reasonably priced. They are made here in USA and you can get service for them should you need it - try that with the average piece of Chifi whose provenence is suspect at best.
As for differentiating between power cords, the two biggest determining factors in pc performance are (1) awg - bigger is better, and (2) stranded vs. solid core wire. If someone can reliably distinguish between power cords in blind testing, then let him buy what sounds best to him.
