I add R-C array filters to my power cords making sure to use the proper X, X2 or Y rated caps for safety. These work the same as the speaker cable versions, in that they are parallel filters across hot and neutral.
I do also use the TI-Shielded version of this with a ground wire to the TI, and this is constructed in the usual way of adding TI-Shield to the R-Cs.
WARNING: THIS IS WITH ONLY 2-WIRE POWER CABLES WHERE THE GROUND WIRE IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE UNIT!!!! That means that the wire from the TI to the ground tine on the input plug is hooked up but NOT the other end of that wire to the ground inlet in the plug that fits into the machine. So the ground wire does NOT carry AC level current at all. It's there to ground the TI-shield only, not your components.
There probably is a way to do this safely with a 3-wire power cord, but I don't know it and won't propose it! Ask somebody here in the electronics field instead.
Also, for clarity let me say that I don't use TI shield any other way on any cables, nor yet on any components, though I've read here on ways to do so. TI is a bit like ERS cloth and ferrites, in that you can easily overdo it.
