Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord?

Isn't it kind of unnecessary to additionally add a power conditioner if I have an expensive audio file grade Power cord connected to a component?

So you buy a Power conditioner from a hi-fi store and they say oh, you need a really good power cord to go with that and then another one to go from conditioner to the component. Do you need it all and why? Seems the last couple of feet before the component should be more than enough.

I must be really really stupid not to understand much of these past several posts. I would hope the people commenting in such a technically proficient way would recognize that most readers have no clue what they’re saying.

They don't either.

You don’t need any of it. People are preying on you and making you feel like your missing something. It’s all about the “UPSELL” in retail audio. You’re not missing anything.

Truth.

Just make sure you have large gauge cords for your amp. Because after dozens, and likely hundreds, of feet of 14 gauge romex, that last 3 feet of 10 ga copper will make all the difference.
