Why does better power = better sound?


Why does improving power quality improve sound quality?

I’m not asking to start an argument about power cords or wall outlets. Please let’s not go there. I’m asking because I’m hoping to learn some technical explanations for the effects of power quality on sound quality. I think I already understand how…

1. greater current availability = greater dynamic range
2. reduction of RFI/EMI = better signal to noise ratio

…but what about these…

3. ???????? = greater perceived resolution
4. ???????? = more realistic instrument timbres
5. ???????? = more precise imaging

Are differences in resolution, instrument timbres, imaging, etc. somehow reducible to current availability and/or powerline noise? If so, HOW are they reducible?

Again, I’m hoping to get into technical specifics, not polemical generalities.

Thanks in advance.

Al as usual gave a wonderful answer

To view it a bit differently think of electricity or power as water and your electronics as living creatures needing it.
Believe it or not there are only 5 water systems in the U.S. that do not need or are required by state or national standards to use chlorine or other items to clean the water(New York City and San Francisco are two of them). When you don't have to spend time getting things cleaned up so that water can be used it is more energy efficient and easier on all around. Power works the same, when it is cleaner either by power cords, conditioners, magic, or whatever everything flows much more easily and the electronics can finally do the job they were designed for with ease.
