Re: How is it that power cords can make a sonic difference???

Following Vedric's questions and your, no doubt accurate mathematics, could you recalculate to take into account the resistance and capacitance of the COMPLETE cable system ie from the power station? I would anticipate that the "voltage drop in the entire power feed at 20kHz is 22% smaller" would drop to an unmeasurably minute figure.

In any event, do you not think that a decent amp designer would anticipate any minute voltage drops and provide capacitors capable of handling them? I would be unhappy if I thought that my equipment had inadaquate power supply caps, even if fed though the standard OEM cables supplied by the manufacturer.

Your maths, with due respect, falls into the "true, but irrelevent" category IMO.
