This falls into the "Everything Matters/Does Not" area of audiophile debate. Some people think that everything the signal passes through affects the sound quality that comes out of your speakers, or in this case the equipment that carries the electricity to the component that the music passes through matters.
Those on the "Everything Matters" side of the debate say that the power supply in the Nucleus is compromised in order to keep the price of the Nucleus down and that the sound can be improved by putting a better power supply in front of the internal power supply of the Nucleus.
There are many examples of things that the general consensus was that they could not affect the sound but it turned out that they did affect the sound when someone tried something better. At one time there was no interconnect and cable industry. Everyone used those cheap red and white plastic "patch cords" that you get with any cheap product that has RCA outputs and the power cords that came with the component were like the ones your lamp uses and were attached permanently.
The only way to find out for sure if an LPS improves the sound of your system is to get one (with a free return if not satisfied policy) and try it. Your system may or may not be revealing enough to hear any difference an LPS might make or the difference may not be worth the money to you or the LPS just may not make a difference in your system or the LPS might make a big difference.
I don’t think there’s any scientific proof that an LPS attached to your Nucleus will improve the sound, it’s just that audiophiles can be obsessive about their systems and will try just about anything to improve it and sometimes they find things that you wouldn’t think would make a difference but do.
Hope this helps.
