"The power cords position the devices in the right place with correct orientation, so they tend to be more reliable in their action."
Well... Maybe mine's in the wrong spot. It's about 7in. from the socket and since I didn't have ready access to sockets I just whacked open a cable and soldered it back together after routing through the holes. Copper washers were also not around so I used some Cu tape. Seemed likely to be close enough to get a feel for the critter in this application.
The system I have it in has tough access to the back so it's hard to comfortably tinker. It was suggested to let it run for while and it's been in place for a few days now so probably about time to do some careful listening then yard it out and see what the reverse delta sounds like. Naturally the whole cord changes but the two sounded similar prior to modification.
It IS fun to have the samples to play with however it goes and also helps out society by keeping us old folks from wandering in the street... BTW, out of curiousity do you have any plans to electrically characterize your products? It's a strange feeling to be tinkering with a proverbial black box sans data sheets!
