"familiarize yourself with the reasons why power cords DO actually work. Search in Cable Asylum here is as good a start as anything."
Well, "power cords DO actually work" since we hear music...
But as to why they they affect stereos beyond that aspect seems obscure. I've been reading AA for many years and haven't seen any reliable information. Now there is a lot of arm-waving, speculations, and theories, some of which I suspect are true by the way, however I have yet to see a single instance where a putative cable mechanism has been identified, controlled, quantified and shown to be causally correlated to an audible difference or even a measurable effect.
I suspect that the main issues are weaknesses in the definition and design of our actual gear rather than the universal goodness of a particular cord and that addressing those issues would yield tremendous cost/benefit over buying hyper-expensive power cords.
Meanwhile I'm looking forward to your links that go beyond speculation to actual causality...
