Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?

Sorry, but anecdotal evidence doesn't prove anything.

It's true that even abundant empirical evidence is not by itself proof. But this is a hobbyist's group, so this wouldn't be the place to expect participants to be conducting the kind of scientific testing you probably prefer. Regardless, it's simply false to claim that "there is no evidence." There's tons of it. If it doesn't suit you, you're free to go collect your own. If you do, please share the results with us.

Take a look at what Gene at the excellent Audioholics site has to say on the matter.

LOL!!!!

A, "THEORY" has never proven anything, either.      That's ALL the, "evidence"  naysayers have ever offered, in their, "scientific" pontifications.       No one will ever know, whether a component change (whatever the component) makes a change, in their system/to their ears, without actually trying it, which (whether your ilk recognizes it or not), constitutes an experiment.   

Apparently some little teddy bears 🧸🧸 haven’t heard that observation 👀 is one of the keystones of the scientific method. It’s called empirical evidence. Hel-loo!

Well said! Totally agree.

And for the naysayers, I seriously doubt they actually own any audio equipment. They just like to pollute the audio forums for some strange reason. Maybe because THAT is their hobby?

Often a good indicator is their Audiogon feedback history: more often than not, zero transactions. They buy nothing. See those two guys above today. Zero transactions here. And don't tell me they only buy brand new from dealer (LOL!!!)
