"With all sorts of power cords available. Many very expensive.. I ask myself why do they also make the ground wire out of the same expensive wire?
A number of audiophile-quality 3-conductor power cords feature OCC copper L&N conductors, with a lesser-quality OFC ground conductor.
"Added: even in a balanced IC.. Does the ground have any 'use' other than to keep the ground plane voltage potential between the two connected item the same? Or can/does it do more?"
The ground conductor of a balanced interface still carries the return signal, and it's why I ignore it for a relatively short-length audiophile application, of which I find to sound better via a simple twisted pair that better keeps to the notion of a truly balanced approach with two evenly connected, mirror image polarities. I consider the ground conductor aspect of a balanced XLR cable to be more suitable for long-length pro audio applications, in my opinion. YMMV
