Can they still pick the cable without knowing it is inserted , there is no mechanism I am aware of where a power cable can increase volume, Jez,John?

There is no mechanism where any power lead can have any effect whatsoever, not even a microscopic one, under any circumstances other than a huge power amp being used at full power (we're talking kilowatt+ PA amps really here) being used with a long thin lead in which the simple resistance of the cable may mean it gives 980W instead of 1000W.
As two of us have just explained, the mains isn't even connected for over 90% of the time!
The fact that the foomeisters are so thick/pig headed as to ignore the fact that the cable between the plug socket and amp is just a continuation of god knows how many yards of the naffast twin and earth mains cable coming from the fuse box is probably the most amusing bit of course! Then there's the 30+ yards of thin enamel plated copper wire in the transformer.... with around say 10 Ohms resistance compared to around 0.05 Ohms of the mains cable... It's akin to arguing over which 100 ton rated tow rope is best capable of towing a Dinky car without stretching!
