But the problem is that you SHOULDN'T hear a difference, not that you do.
The power line looks horrible on a scope nowadays, way different than it did in the 50's when power factor was the main concern. If your gear isn't designed to reject those signals, and most aren't, then you got problems.
On top of that running unbalanced signals with grounded power cords is just asking for grief. Most of my stuff doesn't have "safety" grounds and that helps somewhat I think.
I've been tinkering with some resonance and Vib. issues of late and was blown away with the actual aural magnitude of the problem which I figured would be minor at worst. Perceptually it turned out to be anything but...
So far I have found little sensitivity to power supply issues but you know how it goes, you get one thing cleaned up a bit and as a reward you then hear the next layer of issues. Guess that's what makes it an 'interesting' hobby...
