This has been much posted-upon. The last decade has shown astonishing awareness of the sonic differences produced by power cords and anti-vibrational treatments. This is not lunatic-fringe stuff, but readily audible. Many audiophiles will tell you that the mix of power cords on their equipment makes more of a difference to the ultimate sound than the interconnects or speaker cables. It's astonishing, it doesn't make sense, and it's true-- although it seems as though some equipment is more sensitive to either kinds of treatment than others. I, for instance, use middle-of-the-range Audio Research electronics, and the differences made by switching out power cords and/or balancing components on Aurios and/or Black Diamond Racing Pucks are distinct and readily audible (not to mention maddening). You could search the archives for discussions of the issue.
