... the last few. In other words, good powercords might help prevent line pollution caused by the gear itself (filters incoming noise as well as outgoing noise).
I'm not sure about the validity of the above idea, but I think I've noticed subtle improvements when changing from cheap powercords to really well built ones like those from PS Audio.

...fancy power cords are part of the power conditioning and not the electrical wiring.
don't have any digital devices plugged into their house wiring, use cordless phones, have routers or wireless access points.
The villain is not the sub station located miles away...
I use 20 amp service through 10 gage wire to a 4 outlet box into a Tripplite unit that protects the equipment against brownouts and the Running "Springs Audio Haley is plugged into the Tripplite and everything is plugged into the Haley except the Quicksilver 88 mono amps. Mike at Quicksilver said not to use a power conditioner but plug the amps directly into the wall. There is a true surge protector circuit breaker (I dont know the brand but it is lit by two green lights and takes up the space usually taken by two ordinary circuit breakers). The dedicated line is further protected by an Environmental Potential 2050 whole house protector. Between the 2050 and the odd circuit breaker the volume has increased by +/- 35% and the system sound has improved tremendously.
