Longer Power Cords Sound better?

In my quest for power cords, i have noticed that a longer cord say 6 or 8 feet tends to have a nicer sound in my system that the same models that are 3 or 4 feet.
Power cords i have found this to be true include Cerious Tech, Cardas, and VH Audio....anyone have an explanation?

AND by nicer sound I mean they tend to have a richer midrange, and a more coherent top to bottom presentation.

Vince at Plinius swears by 10 foot length for power cords as sounding best, I have no idea myself...

Ahhhh, meds kicking in...much better, heheh.

Wow! A 10 foot cord could get expensive. At that length I'd definitely rather just DIY one.

No doubt, it is a known fact that the higher frequencies are shorter wave length electrons and therefore cannot travel as far as the midrange electrons. Just like spermatazoa.
That's why the longer power cords have more midrange.

TVAD, ma' power chordses're real more thicker'n yourns. . . them's 7 incherns rounds! Wanna make somp'n of it huh, Huh, HUH?
Michaelwolf, yes you are right, and bad AC can give AIDS to unprotected equipment. That's why all my PCs will hence be protected by a Silver-based contact enhancer, which of course has also beneficial antibacterial properties. . . . oops, forgot that HIV's a virus. . . perhaps I should try a latex sheeth on all male IECs after all.
