Forget the endless PC arguments, what about all our transformer equipment?

So, we have all seen the endless arguments about whether power cords make a sonic difference. Also, the many threads all over multiple boards, concerning this issue and eventually some troll for or against causes the administrator to close the thread (big grin).

However, i have not really seen similar discussions regarding equipment powered by "walmart" transformers, with tiny tiny (28?, 30? g?) power wires. I am thinking apple tv, for those who still use iTunes (and associated lossy files), cat5 switchers, and various other powered entities that either generate, modify the musical signal, or simply are inherent in the system itself. Has anyone ever addressed this concern in any way? Just curious and wondering....

Thanks

I use iTunes with lossless files - not sure where you're headed with that

transformers are often used to isolate noise from switching power supplies and there is a very long thread on computeraudiophile.com about that

the size of the "tiny power wires" is simply based on current draw of the device

can you refine your question?
