Well, that conversation will lead us to a very different topic about the power cords and AC meeting transformers at the door and primary, core, secondary windings and how there is no physical connection and it is all induced voltage through the core of the transformer... so the power cord has zero effect on the voltage stored in capacitors for the voltage rails and such...

But I digress. Stick whatever makes you feel better into the rear of the amp.
