13.Why use an expensive power cable if cheap and unshielded installation cable is used throughout most houses?

If you look at this situation from the 'perspective' of the audio system the power cord is not the last but the first meter of cable. These first meters are very important because these meters are near your signal cables (interconnects). Power cords radiate 100Hz or 120c/s pulses that are picked up by your interconnects and therefore directly pollute the signal containing the played music. A well-designed shielded power cable neutralizes this distortion, preventing it from interfering with the audio signal resulting in a finer resolution of low-level details. So, what kind of installation wire is used is of much lesser importance than how good your power cords are.
