Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel?

Sorry jasonbourne52

but you are wrong. Power cable makes difference. Most audiophiles can hear the sound improvement. Some PC doesn't make any difference but some do. I am not sure if the owner of the basic audio system can hear the difference. Why some PCs are insanely expensive, that's a different topic. 

Don’t think anyone has mentioned it here yet but most power cords are also designed by construction geometry and materials to do some power conditioning as well.  A few years ago I did my own shoot out including my owed cables from Wireworld, loaners from Nordost (most $) Shunyata, AQ and others hooked up to my c-j monoblocks.  Yes, there’s a difference in SQ.  Price was not a predictor of quality, although I now run AQ Hurricane and some Tornado. All to and from a Shunyata Denali 2  conditioner.  The Nordost dealer was incredulous.  I do use their Valhala 2 speaker cables and love them. Everybody has different gear and hearing so just listen patiently.  Time to flip the vinyl.

The first wire an amp will see it the power cord, if it is a choke point then it will keep the amp from attaining peak performance. Once upon a time I did wire for stereo rooms and made cable. If you do an A/B test with good performing PCs you will find a difference assuming your hearing is good enough. I have used 10 ga exclusively in my system for years. It usually only takes seconds to notice the difference.

+1.

Because Oganesson is the most scarce material, 1 gram of Oganesson is us$400 trillion even though it is nothing useful.

All PCs sound veiled and glare except my Wavetouch PC. Only my WTPC doesn’t have veil/glare sound in the world (and reproduction audio history). What is the price tag on my WTPC? The small fraction of top AQs, SRs, and Nordosts.

I suspect the next trick in the evolution of the power cable argument is to cryogenically cool the cables, so they become superconducting. This should separate the physicists from the crowd. Not practical you say? Then the next best thing is to direct wire the power feed to the amps power switch to eliminate any resistance inherent in having a receptacle. Once your amp is open you may observe what gauge wire the factory thought was justified by their engineering staff. I'd be surprised if it was more than 14-gauge wire. 12 gauge would be overkill. Since the concern is really power density, rather than thinking in terms of resistance of the circuit, I would think it would be more appropriate to think in terms of conductance. Since I'm old school the units would be Mhos. Current teaching is Siemans as units.
