Thats an excellent explanation that you gave and it makes perfect sense. The thing is also,if it weren't for all the interference from digital communications on the line,there wouldn't be as much need for the perfect shielding because thats basically what we are shielding from,which is digital communications and magnetic fields as you had mentioned.
Now, here would come another point of dismay and contradiction for most. Lets say you create the finest and purest AC cord you can make or find. Once you you go beyond the point of the power cord, you are inside the amp such as a tube amp that has three transformers and maybe a choke or two underneath. Surely,the iron will create a magnetic field and that in turn will no doubt affect sonic behavior. This is why I have been using MU metal for shielding on some transformers.
