Power cords:
Some Audio components have a poor AC line filtering. It’s a shame that an expensive component is so, but it is what it is.
A good line filter would do most of the job, the components went short of doing.
The power cord is practically supplies power to a Power Supply (PS). this is a unit, that rectify the AC, filter it (by capacitance) and mostly regulates it too.
The internal circuitry, supplied by DC power and if the power supply is good, the DC is stable and clean.
It would be a waste of money to invest in an expensive power cable.
I’ll take it to the opposite direction:
If you take one of those extra expensive and recommended power cable and connect it to your kitchen’s cattle, boil some water, and make a cup of tea - would it taste any different from the original $ 1.50 power cable?
