Hello there:You are right, my friend: it doesn't make any sense that after thousands of miles traveling to our home, the power will be "better" just because of an aftermarket power cord.
But try a good one with any of your components (specially amplifiers and preamplifers) and you'll inmediately listen a real improvement.
As in everything in this hobby, "The proof is in the listening".
Sense or non-sense, if something betters your sound and the effect is suitable to your taste, keep it, otherwise discard it.
I was the most skeptical audiophile regarding to High-end Power Cords until I tried the King Cobra v.1 (from Power Snakes) in my McCormack DNA225 "Platinum Edition" Power Amplifier, the improvement was real, easily audible and beyond any expectation. Since then, even without "making any sense" I am a preacher about High-end Power Cords.
Same is applicable to Interconnects and Speaker Cables.Best, Antonio Machado.
