System- so many questions
You have the Node2i to use as a roon endpoint all you need is a computer to run the roon core.

Aren't you sweet.💋 
... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound...
There is no sense in talking about theories of operation if we can't agree that there is an audible effect.You don't begin with the conclusion but a premise. This is circular reasoning or putting the cart before the horse. The power cord is not th... 
... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound...
Would the power cord be in a normal setting in a new house assuming it's up to snuff ? Do these special cords only work in old houses?  
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
Twisted wire will help guard against interference. I've never tried these but they look pretty well made and offer to measure the LCR for you at a reasonable price. https://sites.google.com/view/pine-tree-audio/speaker/speaker-cables/visceral

Your bombshell is Hans Beekhuyzen ? I missed the bombshell it wasn't where he said this sounds better was it? He may be dry and not prone to hyperbole but I didn't see anything to back up his claim. I can say wow this Pepsi tastes better than this...

Read again. Don't fall for the red herring of "all that romex and junk" the power goes through before you get it. All that came before it is moot since what you need to do is get the best you can from where it all terminates: the outlet.

I'm amazed with every new wire that comes around another veil is lifted and the noise floor is once again lowered. Must have been one lousy system to begin with.  
... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound...
This is just beyond me. Nothing matters but the power cord from the receptacle to the component? The panel box,  wire in the wall, transformer in the component that isolates the primary from the secondary, filtering in the component none of this m...

Networking is a sea of acronyms.  
... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound...
The cable could "starve" the component which would affect the sound but I don't think anyone would want to go that route or shouldn't. Rejecting interference I don't get since the main is filtered by the components transformer and capacitors or sh... 
120v vs 240v
No change of the amp is neededDepends on the amplifier.  
120v vs 240v
Consult an electrician to get advice based on the codes in your area. I can't figure out what you're trying to do. Figure out if you want 240v amplifiers or 120v first.  
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
They’ve been twisting wire for over 100 years to guard against interference. Machines are used to do the complex twisting not a lot of man hours unless it’s some 1 man shop. I've never seen any evidence any of the more exotic patterns are more eff... 
Solid states more accurate than tubes?
we are painting a watercolour here, not fastidiously documenting an actual event". That might be what you’re doing but the original question was not how can I paint a watercolor but which device REPRODUCES the original more ACCURATE. If you have 1...
