[BC] Comparing the audio in the Big 50's

Makes me wonder, how much of the various 50kw stories regarding  
"sounds good" vs "not so much" and the 100kw power supplies, etc might  
be attributable to the "stiffness" of the utility power at the  
facility itself?

Pulling 100kw of clean power off the grid *should* be somewhat related  
to the internal impedance of the AC supply (transmission lines,  
substations, generators, etc) but is this much of a practical concern?

Curious minds at work early this morning....
