Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue

I was having kind of a shitteh day. So, I want to thank you guys for lifting my spirits with this udder (yes udder) BS.

@clearthinker +100 to:"the wire gauge needs ONLY to be thick enough to carry the current being drawn by the component to which it is connected"

end load in the AC power line typically is a power transformer, which has primary and secondary winding (primary gauge is up 100m long with high gauge), anf total effective resistance limits max current of power delivery network for that particular load. amp/pre/etc have primary winding resistance in the range of 0.2..50Ohms, which is significantly higher than ANY power cabe’ discussed. power transformer's resistance sums with protection fuse and internal wiring, which adds resistance to the AC power line as well.

If you have a hair dryer or food processor this makes sense but variations in Sonic transmissions are the result of tiny changes in electrical impulses which perform so much better with the least amount of resistance, or impedance for those who want to be technically correct.  

So anywhere along the food chain that you impede the electrical flow can be detrimental to what you hear if your system is good enough to allow you to perceive differences. And this is what's being evaluated herein

The thing we all need to remember is that it is about the music not about the (electrical) science. There are so many things that can’t be explained by science. The main one being how we hear improvements in sound quality. Can it really be measured? As has been said before, "maybe we do not have the proper scientific equipment to measure"?

Anyway, Jumia I go with what sounds the best to me. And to me, larger gauge wire running from the breaker box through the power cord, power conditioner and finally to our equipment has always sounded better to me.

Now as has been stated there are also many other factors to be considered in improving sound quality. But starting with the basics you are right on.

Does anybody remember underwriters laboratories? The manufacturers have to send their consumer electronics to underwriters laboratories and have everything tested. Yes that would include power cords. There’s a UL stamp right on them. All these aftermarket cords are not approved by the UL. If your house burns down because of one of these chords, you’re out of luck. I contracted a bunch of construction work at a place that regulated gas appliances many years back. It’s just like the underwriters laboratories. They test stuff for every possible stupid thing that consumers can do to staff. I can only imagine the torture tests that they put these electronics through  Which would include things like but not limited to putting more electricity through them than they’re supposed to ever see. I I am truly amazed at the amount of people that think that a different power cord can make a difference. It saddens me that the people that make these power cords  Know this and take advantage of their fellow man may not have been in science class the day that we learned about electricity. As far as I’m concerned, the people that bother the manufacturers of these so-called power conditioners deserve to have their time wasted. It seems like a couple times a week , somebody post a thread like this. It’s been three years that I’ve been hanging around this forum and it just goes on and on and on.
