Excellant reply Grant.
I am glad you stepped out of the shadows.
Some folks rip the guts out of old vintage gear at great expense , and replace old worn parts with newer designer devices, yet they can't wrap their minds around power cords.
If something as small as a resistor or capacitor makes a sonic difference, and some folks prefer one brand over another and can hear the difference,(if they couldn't hear any difference how could they prefer one over the other?). When the very first thing their project sees is the power cord,how can they place so little importance to it?
In fact without the power cord, everything else is in vain.
And for me, it is in vain, if you end up plugging the project into the wall with a stock power cord.
