"I'm not suggesting it does. However it will eliminate the problems that costly power cables and mains conditioners are bought for. If you save a few thousand by doing away with these, that cash could buy a much better amp than the one that requires fancy cables and conditioners."

> Possibly true, and I do get your point. However, not all amps require thousands of dollars in additional power conditioners, power cords, and interconnects to sound great.

I agree that it's often totally unnecessary to spend large sums on cables, particularly power cords and conditioners, although I gather that US mains supply is far worse than UK.

I'd agree also with the post that suggested that if you have to listen hard to hear any difference, the differences you think you hear are almost certainly imaginary! If you really want to hear a rattle in your car, you will hear one, even if it's in your imagination.
