Re: $500-$650 AC Cord for High-End Sub: Your Knowledgeable Vote, Please

Thanks, I was not aware that the power cords are so critical to a systems sound quality and I will do some reading on this as this thinking is new to me. But seriously and very logically, what about the rest of the wiring all the way back to the generating station, at least not to your breaker box. 99.9% of all residential or even light commercial where 110 outlets are used, use standard Romex type wire and hopefully at least 12 gauge on a 20-30 amp breaker. If an audiophile is to hold basic power cords to his system to such high importance, should he not change the wireing out to the same type they we are talking about here? A system is only good as the weakest link and putting this expensive wire ot the end of standard romex is the same as splicing your high end interconnect with one you get at wal-mart. Then on the other hand, if standard Romex is good stuff and eveyone can live with the fact that is really what is powering your system, why not just use it for your AC cables to keep is all matched and equal lengths? Its only about 5 per 100 feet and some good quality plugs are only a couple bucks. Again, I am not trying to down anyones knowledge or expereince on this as it has caught my attention and I am in a learning process here, but it completely goes against basic logic or even basic engineering, so this is why I must ask questions or point out basic facts as I see them.
