"How much resistance?"
Do you mean exact measurements? that will depend on the situation, each time a signals path is altered there is a form of resistance(deterioration). think of fuses, fuse holders, resistors, adapters, connectors e.t.c...... is it audible? yes..... no.....sometimes, is it measurable? always.
One of the biggest challenges for high-end cable manufacturers lately is not how they can improve signal transmission through cable development but how to reduce signal deterioration when assembling plugs, resulting in manufacturers designing plugs from scratch combined with unique crimping methods. This includes power cords as well.
From a purist view, I would always remove as much resistance as possible, audible or not. My personal experience is that the use of adapters creates serious signal deterioration, more so on IC's than SPC's.
