"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.
As with everything in this hobby, beyond a certain point it's all a matter of minute diminishing returns as well as a sprinkling of 'marketing spin' to help differentiate one's product offering from the crowd.
As an aside, I once owned a $1000 battery powered phono preamp. It sounded noticeably worse than a comparably priced phono preamp that ran off a cheap AC wall wart power source. So much for their 'battery powered' marketing spin. The battery obviously didn't make up for the less than stellar phono preamp itself. Go figure.
