Power cable from wall socket to power strip


Hej

Firstly; yes I believe that cables makes a difference. All cables. I don’t want a discussion with ”non believers”.

I use a power strip (Wireworld Matrix 2) which is connected to the wall socket with a Furutech Empire. But now I need a little longer power cable and I thought; does the power cable from the wall socket to the power strip really matter? I mean, all the way to my wall socket it’s just ordinary wire, so why should the part to the power strip matter. It’s just the last bit to the devices that matters, I’ve been told. Or…?
What are your thoughts about this?

Go to the Nordost website. They have a presentation explaining what they believe is the order of importance of each cable in a system. 

Of course they do. It's called marketing. They are VERY good at it.

I just removed my isotek evo 3 polaris for a $75 hospital grade power strip and the faint hum in my subs disappeared.

The main reason I decided to get rid of it was the blades in the isotek inlets are crap - all the plugs were loose.

I'm ordering this to replace the power strip https://www.cullencable.com/gold-series-power-box-6-outlet-receptacle-strip/

You can probably get one made with a longer cable if 4ft isn't enough.

But the meaning with a power conditioner is to "clean the power". Right?
So how can the power cable to the conditioner matter? Or am I just stupid here?

No, you are not stupid, just logical. Why would a manufacturer not build a high quality conditioner with a high quality power cable that was matched and hardwired to the unit? No upsell opportunities.
