Here's my CMX-6 beside my wimpy poorly built Monster HTS800, and while I know there are bigger fancier Monster power bars these cost the exact same and the build quality of the CMX-6 puts the Monster product to shame and then some.

You tell um creimes! No points for color,,,,,,but how about all those plugs,,,,,,,,,,,,NOT EVEN CLOSE!

Those Monster plugs all look like Mr. Bill after Sluggo gets through with him.

That statement (and I like and respect Paul McGowan) just doesn't make sense. More load on the circuit is less impedance thus more current flow and more voltage drop due to IR voltage in the branch conductor. The only plus in all that is if the line volts is high, the wire voltage drop would help. What am I missing?

May be the reduced impedance trumps possible negative effects on voltage.  Electronic gear has to handle a lot of variations in peak voltage and frequency without getting into trouble.  I guess my suggestion is to try stuff out and see what sounds good and what doesn't.

If the statement McGowan made was in reference to the impedance in the ground circuit between compoents ONLY, this makes sense - the closer each components ground is to the same point, the lower the circulating ground current path level component to component. This does not apply to the ENTIRE power circuit and that's what the statement seemed to imply. Voltage drop in the supply conductors is undesirable if it exceeds 5% (at rated branch circuit current or load).
