Silly Question: Short Power Cord + Ext. Cord?

Thanks, guys, for your thoughts and ideas. Hope to have more responses and opinions.

I didn't think about the fact that one would be going from solid core Romex in the wall to stranded in the extension cord, which probably creates some change in the transfer of the raw AC. Also, another set of connectors for the AC to travel through, which probably alters these unknown AC phenomena / properties that obviously have sonic effects.

However, this brings into question the effect of these 'interruptions' in the AC signal that power conditioners themselves would also create. The AC is going through the cord of the conditioner, its connectors, internal wiring, and then its outlets. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that some audiophiles love conditioners, and others feel they do something detrimental.

---Jea48, after I reflected on this again, why should the stranded cable in an extension cord make a difference when most power cords use stranded cable anyway? Hence, a change from the solid core wire in the wall is going to happen anyway.

---Redkiwi, your experience obviously speaks for itself. There is more going on with AC power than meets the eye.

---Drhst20, from my own experience, the cord on the transport makes a huge difference. I think your use of a cheap multi-prong adaptor will definitely affect sonics and unimpeded flow of AC.

Interestingly, one can use a power conditioner and connect multiple units to it; yet, the conditioner is tapping off only one side of an outlet. One would think that plugging each unit into a separate outlet would give maximum flow of AC, as opposed to 'bottlenecking' effect a power conditioner would theoretically create.
