Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?

Hook up your system to at any point in those 100s of miles of transmission, at step up transformers, step down transformers, at 25 yr old 6 GA and 12 GA wiring, and your system will sound different at all the points you choose. One can't argue that.

What matters is how it sounds at the outlet where utilities code tells you it has to perform within tolerances there or it's not right. AFAIK the same code at the outlet doesn't apply to any point along those 100s of miles of transmission. Enough of that red herring argument. It's been shot down so long ago. How it keeps on like a zombie is beyond me. 

The same goes for power supplies in amps and sources. Some just make them good enough so as to not burn down your house and some can occupy the whole underside of some gear or require its own chassis. When made like the latter, I can see how different PCs would have little to no effect, but the majority of components aren't made that way. 

I've only heard slight differences but enough of one to choose one way over the other. Having heard the better way, how could one settle for less for not much more outlay?

Thanks for the information but how would my system sound different if it were 10 miles or 90 miles from the point of generation? Do electrons age?

I am glad you hear a difference but I am trying to find out why. 

@grunge1000 , just because you don't understand it doesn't make it any less real.

Who cares why? Just rest easy and know it does.

How did you get "aging electrons" from this? It was never stated or implied. What's with the trolling? Is it that the more it makes sense, the more you refuse to entertain the idea? 

I'm glad you don't hear a difference but to pollute a thread on a subject that's been discussed to death makes it seem like you're bored. Do a "search discussions" on this subject and you'll be entertained (but apparently not swayed) for hours on end.

All the best,
