Sorry Jeff, but I disagree.
Filtering alone doesn't explain everything. Have you considered that your powerline filters may be choking off or reducing the instantaneous bursts of current that produce the superior dynamics that great PC's are capable of? I use only small amounts of mostly parallel filtering on my AC, and the differences between outlets, AC connectors, and cables is very obvious. Since nobody seems to be arguing that outlets and connectors are 'filters', then what explains the large differences I hear? Filtering is only part of the picture, instantaneous current delivery is (imo) even more important.
I'm not saying everyone has to invest in kilobuck PC's, but putting flimsy 16-18awg cords on high-end gear just seems penny wise and pound foolish to me.
Oh, and I 'concentrate' on my listening all the time, that's what makes me a genuine audio fool!!!
