Construction
As some other has told, use for your power cord a big cable with two or three SOLID CORE conductors of at least 12ga. Now, free from the outer jacket the conductors that MUST remain insulated with their inner jacket. TRASH the ground conductor (or use it for another cable) and twist as close as possible (i.e. without any short) the remaining two (yes! i know that's illegal...but if you want goooood sound). Repeat this for EVERY component in your system, including the cord of your power strip. Make sure to use a good plug.
 
Setup
Plug into your components
 
Use
Use for every component with a detachable power cord plug.
 
Performance
Less noise, grunge and other nasties and way more better bass (punch, articulation, tunefulness) and better highs that now aren't ruined by strange interactions. Now i enjoy a more natural sound.
 
Other
Compare these power cords with the megabucks other on the market, if you can, but BEWARE!!! You can die from your laughs!
