Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue

@erik_squires "I swear to my dark goddess, my last job was doing cloud IT architecture for government and the powers-that-be insisted we use caches."

Caches don’t make anything faster unless there are other bottlenecks in the system. And yes, I realize you know this.

 A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Most people know just enough to be absolutely, completely wrong. Particularly in the IT industry. Best of luck ;)

And the wire gauge from the IEC inlet to the power supply is at most 14ga and is usually 16 or 18ga. Not to mention the fuse element is equivalent to a 20ga solid conductor.

I use 10/3 Romex for one reason only: the conductors are pre-twisted in the sheathing and that goes a long way into reducing common mode noise. I steer away from 2-wire Romex because the conductors are parallel and flat, making them a very efficient RFI antenna.

I was having kind of a shitteh day. So, I want to thank you guys for lifting my spirits with this udder (yes udder) BS.

@clearthinker +100 to:"the wire gauge needs ONLY to be thick enough to carry the current being drawn by the component to which it is connected"

end load in the AC power line typically is a power transformer, which has primary and secondary winding (primary gauge is up 100m long with high gauge), anf total effective resistance limits max current of power delivery network for that particular load. amp/pre/etc have primary winding resistance in the range of 0.2..50Ohms, which is significantly higher than ANY power cabe’ discussed. power transformer's resistance sums with protection fuse and internal wiring, which adds resistance to the AC power line as well.

If you have a hair dryer or food processor this makes sense but variations in Sonic transmissions are the result of tiny changes in electrical impulses which perform so much better with the least amount of resistance, or impedance for those who want to be technically correct.  

So anywhere along the food chain that you impede the electrical flow can be detrimental to what you hear if your system is good enough to allow you to perceive differences. And this is what's being evaluated herein
