RE: "...some of us actually believe susceptability to external noise signifies a high resolution system"

Mmmmm, I too have read a fair number of posts along the line of: 'If you can't hear the differences between powercords then your system lacks resolution.' Beyond a general insult I suspect that a particular aspect of performance is lodged in the mind of the writer, but there it lies, unrevealed to the rest of us. Just WHAT is being resolved and is there any reason to think that the power cord must make a difference? So sadly DT isn't just inventing it.

Perhaps it isn't obvious to everyone that they shouldn't matter as long as they can deliver the power. Which of course doesn't mean that they don't matter, merely that they shouldn't. The crux of the matter is that home audio systems are poorly specified and controlled so no one can really say if something is working good enough or not because 'good enough' is an unknown.
