Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall?


Could somebody please help me to shed light on this?
Is there any reason I should invest in expensive power cables when there's low grade cable between my outlet and the wall? I've upgraded most other components in my systems, but I'm just not sure that spending several hundred dollars for power cables makes sense, when the cable running from my outlet to the wall costs less than $.10 per foot. Can anyone shed light on this?

Thanks!

BECAUSE there is a low grade cable behind your outlet and because it works. You don't question why a water filter works after your tap water travels 100 miles through some nasty pipe, it is similar with good power cords although not exactly analagous. Some people think that the power cord is the same as adding a few feet of pipe to an existing pipe, but such a pipe simply would not impede water flow, whereas a power cord can improve signal flow, filter grunge, lower distortion due to better grade materials. Just try one under $200 that can be easily resold if you don't like it. One audition beats a hundred debates in the posts. SD I respectfully disagree based upon personal experience, having been skeptical myself.
