I suppose my analogy and description were based on the model of the home audiophile user (who is the usual demographic that actually buys fancy power cables).
In my old studio, we had a Trident TSM, Otari MTR90 and rack after rack of outboard drawing its power through hundreds and hundreds of feet of standard el-cheapo romex or worse. I'm certain that this is the case in most studios, and perhaps you'd even see old knob-n-tube wiring in some audiophiles' houses. We used the power cables that came with the gear and nobody complained.
So how is it that tacking 3 feet of excellent cable at the end of 300 feet of interior romex and miles of non-audiophile electric-company supply line can correct all the ills that would have plagued an audio power supply if one had been cavalier enough to use 3 feet of cable of a quality that was merely comparable to the romex in the wall?
Seems to me like the equivalent of putting a 3 foot piece of Mogami at the end of a 100 foot Hosa mic cable and expecting it to sound better than the Hosa alone.
