Power cords - a BASIC question


If we have meters and meters of cheap cables inside the walls, why shall we, on the LAST meter or so, use an expensive power cord? This doesn't make any sense... or does it? I told you it was a Basic question... Regards.

Because it is not the last meter, but the first AND last meter. This is AC power so juice is flowing both ways by definition. Also, it is the meter that is closest to the rest of our EMI sensitive audio equipment and antenna-like IC cables.
