I think you are correct. I posted a top off picture of the 3060 and was disappointed at the stupid comments posted, doubting the true power, who needs that much, more money than sense etc. I expected more appreciation for the monument it is.
When it comes down to it what skin is it off anyone's neck if someone buys power cords and how much they spend. Just keep your opinions to your self. First of all we're not going to listen and no one asked to be saved. If a person didn't deem a power cord or whatever a value to them they wouldn't buy it and it's no one's business if they do.

Powercords are more important to your amplifier sound than speaker cables, you are virtually listening to your PSU modulation in amplifiers, class D are the worse for this and PC make the biggest difference on them i have experienced ...

PS: wait until you change out those cheaply built stock fuses :)

As I was reading the review of the JMF Audio monoblocks I saw some info worth sharing.
"JMF Audio's early adopters included René Zingg's Soundville Studios in Lucerne, Switzerland, and Glenn Meadows's Masterfonics Studios in Nashville. Both studios were designed by Tom Hidley. More recently, Morten Lindberg of Grammy-winning label 2L began using JMF Audio's PCD 302 mains filter and power cords to make his recordings. JMF's consumer distribution was limited to Asia until Vamos's Audio Skies introduced JMF Audio electronics to North America at"
2L makes some of the finest recordings in the world. Appparently power cords matter when you want the best.
I have always heard that the plugs were the most important aspect of any cable. Although JMF chose a different approach they do address the issue of needing a better than your average power cord.
To ensure that the HQS 7001 meets the ambitious specifications the company touts, even with noisy power, a filtered, hard-wired power cable is included. One filter is inside the plug; the other sits at the entrance to the amplifier. "Our experience is that an ordinary IEC connector is too weak for the task," Fusilier said. "When you have connectors inside the amp, outside the amp, and on the cable, current must run through three different connectors. Connectors are always the weakest link. By hard-wiring the power cable, the weak points are eliminated."
Beyond the power cord, the amps are designed to reject noise. "Our balanced interfaces are hand-calibrated for great interference rejection. This results in a common-mode rejection as high as 100dB, while professional interfaces usually show less than 65dB."
Given the opportunity, I wanted to pivot into one particular direction, specifically towards what high frequency radiation can look like...
So, in the simplest case, the following frame is from a facebook video (which I cannot find on youtube and link), showing a hand-held VHF radio exciting a fluorescent light which is not connected to anything:
Attachment 33289
The following two videos showcase HF noise on the power line - one from fluorescent lights, the other LEDs - and they are both using a probe going into a spectrum analyzer: in one case, the probe is simply touched by a human to show how this noise (~40KHz) is radiated all around and picked up by anything worth conducting (including the power line where the spectrum analyzer is plugged in); the other is attached to the insulation of the power line feeding the LED lights, which indicates that noise is on the power line and it can penetrate the insulation. There are tons of such videos on youtube, these ones just popped up top with a quick search. Also notice the inline filter recommended for the LED lights and its effect (the filter also shunts Line to Neutral using capacitors etc)

Just to be certain, in case there is any confusion, I am NOT that Smith...
