Power Cables and Wall Sockets

Without knowing for certain, it seems to me that power cables can only be as good as the in-home wiring coming to the wall socket. Is it possible that those who use expensive cables have improved the wiring to the socket? Or is the power from most wall sockets normally excellent, but is limited by conventional power cables?

What is known is NO power cord will solve his dimming light VD problem...

Amen to ^that^.

I would be tempted to shove in 12ga and call it a day.

For my audio & video system I ran 8 gauge wire from my main breakers to a substation nearby my gear with 4 - 20 Amp breakers, from there I used 12 gauge wire to 4 Furutech rhodium plates & outlets. 2 outlets for my monoblocks, 1 outlet for audio gear, and another for audio/video gear.

Lights dimming when major appliances startup?  22 years ago, our solution was to have Central Maine Power Company come test the line.  The following Sunday morning at 10AM, a shiny new transformer was installed next to our driveway with a more impressive shiny new ground!  May others share such fortune!!  Remember, laser rulers ftw.
