Fast Power Cables ?

Hello again,
there has been a lot of chat lately about Goldmund using bog
standard Pioneer boards and transports (and remotes) for their $12,000
CD player, this is interesting but what intrigues me more is one of
their press releases where they announce their FAST power cable.
Perhaps I am being ignorant, probably, but isnt the speed at which you
get electrons from the socket to the device round about 46% of the
speed of light assuming a passive conductor. If so how does Goldmund
get the electrons there faster and does it matter. Also given a 50/60
hz cycle does this make any sense at all ?
**Of course not. You could, however, take them to task over this nonsense.
The one thing you DON'T want in a piece of hi fi equipment is any nasty high
frequency energy coming from the mains supply. IOW: ANYTHING other than
50Hz/60Hz sine wave is bad. What you really want is a SLOW mains cable (if
such a thing existed).
I'd complain to the company and tell that you want a slow mains cable, not a
fast one, as fast cables allow high frequency transients through. That
should send them scurrying.
