Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap?

The thing i cannot understand is how a new high quality cable will enhance the quality of the flow of electricity that previously went into cheap house electrical wires ?

it's like saying that with good equipment u'll get a higher than CD sound from a FM stereo source or a cheap Mp3 ..

please help me understand .. :)

I wasn't a believer until I had a Argento Flow Master Reference connected to my Sanders Magtech amp.  It definitely was better than my Groneberg power cable.

I just tried the Shunyata Zitron Alpha HC on my Sanders Magtech and can tell no difference between it and my cheap, Groneberg.  I emailed Roger Sanders, and he says that audiophile power cords are a hoax.

So I thought this was interesting:  I tested the Shunyata Alpha HC on my brother's system (Vandersteen Treo with McCormack HT-1 with Acoustic Zen Tsunami Plus), and the difference was very noticeable.  I'm starting to understand the whole "system dependent" mantra.
