I see I'm not going to change your mind. I AM an electrical engineer and I understand power supply and amplifier design and the associated tradeoffs. Why not put fancy air purifiers in your listening room to keep the percentages of nitrogen, oxygen, etc. constant? Once the speaker cone moves the sound is produced via an acoustic pressure wave. Why not keep the medium of propagation as constant as possible so that the sound isn't disturbed? If your buddy next to you is smoking a cigar the smoke particles emitted into the air (again, medium of sound propagation from speakers to your ears) will affect how the sound is heard! Don't forget the humidifier to keep that variable constant as well!
Again, why do you believe that the 1-3' of fancy cable you buy from AC socket to your amplifier will induce any perceivable change when it's fighting MILES of the power company's wiring? Do you think that the power company was founded by audiophiles who put optimum power distribution cable onto the grid, and you're going to destroy that delicate balance?
