hi simon:
stereo systems are imperfect. thus components are imperfect. there are many kinds of distortions, including timbral errors.
i have never heard the sound of an orchestra reproduced accurately when listening to a stereo system.
what i conclude from your post is that the use of elrod gold power cords can reduce errors of timbre and create some semblance, perhaps, an illusion of a live performance.
