The Effects of a Power Strip

Let's say you have this outstanding very expensive power cord. You wish you had more of them but they are just too expensive.

So you buy a nice clean power strip like a Ven Haus, Juice Bar, or Eichmann and connect it to the super cord in the hopes that its effects will be transmitted thru the strip into the connected components. You use good but not expensive cords to go from the strip to the components.

Anyone have any experience with the difference between the effects of the super cord connected thru the power strip to a component vs. connected directly to the component?

This question was inpired by a current Postive Feedback review of the Power Wing where the reviewer claimed there was little difference between connecting a component thru a power strip plugged into the Wing vs. connecting a component directly to the Wing. The implication is that once the power is "corrected" the cords downstream are of little importance.
