RE: "power cords don't add distortion"

As fate would have it, power cords add quite a lot of distortion, actually noise and distortion, some power cords more than others, but they all do. One of the primary culprits is the distortion produced by the self induced magnetic field produced by current flowing through the cord as it interacts with the AC signal.
