Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?

Electrons don’t move. For the umpteenth time!

Yeah, right. Tell that to a CRT. And they move between orbitals all the time when sufficiently excited.  And of course, every time you "look" at one, it's in a different location ;-)

Aren’t most better grades of audio devices fused at the point where the power comes in? I tried looking for a schematic of my Macintosh amplifier and I found one but it was a little fuzzy. It looked like there was a fuse that one across both the hot and neutral. So here’s my point, Are you bringing this power from the street then step it down at a transformer to 110 V and then it comes through your breaker panel, goes through the walls in the form of solid Romax then goes into your $800 power cord and then it runs into a fuse. The last time I looked at an audio fuse it wasn’t much bigger than a human hair. So you’ve got this alternating current going in and out of your amplifier which has the pass-through this fuse. It’s like a major choke point. It’s not like putting a bigger fuel line To a motor.

By the way, I just read my previous post. It reads horribly. I was in an accident and I am a highly functioning quadriplegic. I rely on Siri to put all this into print.Lately she has been doing a horrible job and I am on able to go back and correct her mistakes. Please bear with me, I’m not an idiot although when you read one of my posts it sounds that way

Who is this millercarbon dude? Is he some sort of  expert on all things concerning hi-fidelity? What are his credentials?

The amplifier they’re talking about in this thread has a mains filter in the amp. They mention it on their website and say in some areas with noisy lines you can add one of their line conditioners. Nowhere do they talk about power cords. I try not to get in the cable nonsense and stay away from interconnects and speaker cable but when it gets to power cables it’s to much. Electricity runs for miles through steel/aluminum wire hits the transformer for your house steps down and comes through the meter, panel, feet of regular copper wire, receptacle then gets to the magical power cord that changes something or the other then goes through a filter in the amp, another transformer, regular 12 or 14 gauge wire in the amp but through this whole thing it’s that few feet of magic wire that adds those wonderful inky black background, open soundstage , voices floating in front of the speakers and pianos beside your couch. Power cable bull is worse than the nonsense they attribute to ethernet and USB cables.
