Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?

I have two PS Audio AC3 and two Pangea AC 14 cables I don't use.  My thinking is that Ayre wouldn't supply cables that are inadequate for their components.  Is that thinking flawed?

“No, different means different. Whenever two things are different one is of necessity better, the other worse.”
This statement is wrong. Vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Bordeaux and Burgundy wine. One is not “of necessity” better. They’re different. Difference does not necessitate superiority.
Different:adjective 1. not the same as another or each other; unlike in nature, form, or quality.
I have multiple systems that I’ve spent thirty years carefully assembling.  The components were chosen for synergy with each other and the room they’re in. Solid state rig. Tube rig. Streamer. They all sound great, but they also sound different.

OP -- I am very sorry the thread is hijacked (again) from the naysayers.

Unfortunately this is the state of affairs in audio, every single thread gets hijacked from people who have zero interest in the subject. Yet, for some reason, they all flock to these threads, as if someone directs and flags them this way.

I hope you got what you needed.

subjective measurements "
??

this is an oxymoron term....
it's  a term used when the subjective opinions have been acquired through controlled ABX testing and used in conjunction with scientific measurements in psychoacustics.

The name of this thread is "Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?"

The OP is asking for opinions, not a boiler plate answer of yes or no.

I will say that although the formal definition of the word "naysayer" is not specifically related to religion, other than on this website I have most often if not only heard it associated with those who did not believe in a particular religion. I know it is just my hang-up, and I may be way off base here, but I find the repetitive use of the word by those who believe in certain tweaks describing those that do not believe in the tweaks as being just this side of disturbing.

This post will self destruct in one day.
