...that if you're going to spend any money at ALL on your power system - including cords from wall to gear - it would be a good idea to do as you have done: inspect the entire 240/120V system, right back to the pole-mount transformer as was possible in your (lucky) case.
If you don't have a good solid power system in place, spending all of ones budget on voodoo-magic power cords may be a bad plan.
What you did there sounds reasonable to me. I also would probably "bake my own" power cords as well, as I have done in the past. I'm not a big fan of 'fire hose' boutique bling-bling power cords, or their claims to act as "filters" of noise. If I need a power cord to act as a filter, then I've got other bigger problems. Cords can be designed to REJECT noise, but there are much better FILTERS that can be implemented in the even a "real" filter is needed.
Too much jargon and hype in lieu of substantiation - especially considering the prices.
Cheers,
Presto
