Interesting point. Considering how all that current has to flow through a ’tiny’ fuse, yet a big honking power cord can still make a change to the overall sound still boggles my mind.Richard Feynman once said if anyone thinks he understands quantum physics, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
How electrons and currents are not as intuitive as one thinks. There are still things that can’t be relied on "common sense".
There are people who think as long as the power cord is big enough, then that’s all you need. I actually have some power cords that are more than thick enough but they sound a bit "slow". How they are constructed also affects the sound.
