Little longer reply
To all those that gave AudioFreak a quick short reply, that was my first thought as well, but, after reading his later reply, I thought I would post a little explanation.
AudioFreak, the RF filter thing is a valid item, beyond that, why would "burning in" a power cord be something you would want to do? Think about it this way, are you concerned that the outlet is properly burned-in? What about the wires, breaker, meter, pole transformer, etc? You start to see a little of what's going on here. Worrying about "burning in" a very short section of the power feed is rather pointless when you look at the total length all the way back to the power station. Granted, filtering and what not over that short distance WILL make a difference, but why would you care about a "hospital grade" or "audiofile grade" or whatever grade power cord that does nothing? Why are you worrying about that power cord when its most likely plugged into a $2 (max) outlet in the wall? (Unless of course you replaced the outlet yourself, or had it replaced with a higher quality one) Even then, you've got solid core romex running in the walls to the breaker box... Basically, my view (and apparently shared by others) is that its not worth spending big bucks on.
I'm not trying to make fun of you, AudioFreak, but thought I'd provide a little more information, rather than just "Its stupid". No offenses?
