"The power that is spec'd and rated for your home is done at the outlet, not the transformer down the street, or the all the way back to the dam spinning the giant turbines, or the coal plant belching crap into the sky.
All of this nonsense about all the miles, nodes, transformers and such are just another B.S. line of thought (if you can call it thought) that naysayer latch onto as a form or "gotcha" ridicule that works on those easily swayed by such tactics.
As others have said, it's the first few feet your amp (or source) sees which relies on that outlet meeting said specs and ratings as the amp was designed to work with them, and not a different set of specs anywhere back on the line."
As stated above, a power cord is a filter - just like any other cable - and is the last cable filter between the wall and the component.
This tired and pitiful yarn about the miles of wire etc., is in the same league as "it's all 0's and 1's."
