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?

... In the meantime not one credible explanation has emerged as to why the last 2 metres of electrical cabling should matter exponentially more than the previous possible kilometres.
Logical fallacy alert, straw man argument. I don't recall anyone here claiming exponential improvement.

It would be pretty weird for someone who designs hi end power cords to argue that power cords don’t matter. Yes, no, maybe? Answer at 11.

True, they may know they don't matter but they aren't going to come out and shoot themselves in the foot by admitting it.

Yeah, sure. What’s the problem, you don’t trust people from the NSA? The $250,000 Tenor Rockport system I participated in at CES with Shunyata cables won best of show.
