Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?

I have Accuphase E5000 plugged into my Equitech son of q jr. balanced power supply. Sounds great and I have had the Equitech for a good 15 years now. Everything is dead quiet, not even a hiss coming from the system. Just started thinking about power cords and if it is worth it, I’m in the U.S., if that matters. Thanks

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this...

@duketbrd88 : I have an E470 Accuphase integrated and an Accuphase SACD player. Both of these machines benefit greatly from aftermarket power cords. Accuphase sound, if there is such a thing, is all about finesse, a refined sound with plenty of microdetail and timbral "rightness". Most of this is thrown out the window with the stock power cord. Also, a proper power cord allows for better macrodynamics, unleashing the dynamic potential of your mighty E5000.

I’m curious what everyone thinks about power cables with the molded ends like, PS audio prelude, audioquest NRG or a Pangea power cord?

What brand PC do you enjoy with your Accuphase E470 / SACD player?

 

Happy Listening!

I, too, own an Accuphase (DP-65v) Reference player. So far, I have not felt the need to upgrade the stock PC. BTW, I am a firm believer in aftermarket Cables/Cords. Staying tuned to your thread.

 

Happy Listening!
