The $250 power cables and $600 power strip that dethroned my $10k Shunyata Everest

@ionna22 "Let's talk about power cable. 12-gauge wire resistance is 0.01588 Ohms per 10 foot. Accordingly to the law, 10-foot round trip with a 5-amp load (that is 120V x 5A = 600 Watts) has a voltage drop of approximately 0.16 Volts."

your calculation is valid for linear load only, such as incandescent bulb! in the area of sound amplification, the only 2..10% of AC sine wave time is used to charge capacitors bank. higher SQ amps typical capacitor charge time is much shorter than cheap/low SQ ones! that’s why p-p voltage drop in amp power network is much higher, comparing to purely resistive load. at the same power. 

short "cable only” resistance typically is less important than interconnects, which includes inlet/outlet paring, thus good quality connectors are beneficial for SQ overall.

"that’s why p-p voltage drop in amp power network is much higher"
How much higher, may I ask? 600 Watts in my example is not enough?
I was building my own amplifiers and speakers (making a nice pair right now) and I am eager to hear something new that I do not know yet in the field.

I’ve measured (scope) up to ~50A peak incoming current short time spikes in 400W amp.

However, I think that for the "cables matter" crowd (of which I am one), it is difficult to swallow the representation that they can take a cheap $5 monoprice cord, do some magical, secret and unexplained "process" to it and suddenly you have a better cord -- not just a better one, in fact, but one that surpasses what I consider to be an excellent power cable/conditioner combo, in the Sigma/Everest combo.

The $5 cable as sold by Monoprice isn’t fancy but it is electrically adequate, therefore it would adequately deliver power from the wall to most hifi components.

Now, not all audiophiles are created equal; some, shall we say, did not receive the gift of critical thinking from the Creator. Those, given a $5 power cord, would rather hang themselves with it than listen to it, so they have absolutely no freaking idea how the cheap cord even "sounds", but they do know it sounds amazing when they pay 50 times more.

The cord sounds exactly the same either way, of course; but not unlike Pavlov’s dogs, they will argue that the expensive cord must sound better because it is more expensive and you get what you pay for.

@westcoastaudiophile Physics to the rescue. 50A x 120V = 6000 Watts. I suppose you are in US where 120V is norm. Did you blow your fuse?
Let’s consider you are correct and you have abnormally strong fuses and abnormally thick wires inside your walls.
Let’s take 10-gauge wire then. It will cost you only several $ more and no fancy gimmicks. 
The voltage drop per 10-foot wire will be less than 1 Volt at 120 V and 50 Amps. Again, I am talking about continuous load which is much more strenuous compared to a variable load.

My final point in this conversation - you mentioned "good quality interconnects". They are all good quality. They are all UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certified, meaning they intend to do the load job properly. Otherwise they are illegal for use.
If, by any chance, your "interconnects" are not good, you are simply risking a fire in the house.

I am not trying to convince anybody. Only promoting a scientific point of view. A lot of people considered that quite helpful.

Have a great sound!
