RE: Okay, legitimate questions

Dave
Not to be a smart ass but both in the interest of safety and correcting wrongs of the past please finish the job.
I have a couple Teac RtoR myself a 3340s and an x7-r and found along with rollers, cleaning heads and alignment that power wiring was lacking. Just replacing the cords along with the cap and grounding (I used belden 14awg computer grade, not fancy but a step up from the H-D power cord)made a big difference in itself.
I'm not arguing what differences you heard from power cords, I just want to bring to light that the old way was not the best and updating is vital.
I have a pile of vintage gear here that is testimony.
Also not to start a war but once I sorted out the power supply from the box, a dedicated line, and fixed all the cords, I really can't say I can hear a difference in power cords from the wall. I did however notice a difference in the noise floor before and after on my scope,
As always and forever YMMV.
