Perhaps ...

it's just the thought of a $10,000 power cords (like everyone buys those!) that clouds the thinking process?

For example Presto tells us that it make more sense to spend $5,000 on providing pure DC to components than spend $10,000 on a power cord. Well that superfically seems to make sense until you consider that to use pure DC one must:

a) Build their own components that can utilize pure DC (not everyone is a DIYer!), or

b) Have custom components commissioned that can use pure DC (hardly a cost effective option), or

c) Have existing components radically modified to utilize pure DC (likely expensive work, and in addition it would kill the resale price of the modified components).

Seems to me that the advice only makes sense for the talanted DIYer, otherwise it's equally as ridiculous as the notion of buying a $10,000 power cord... unless of course funds are absolutely not an issue in which case all sorts of wieird and wacky ideas can be explored!
