Transparent is one of those brands where after hearing a couple awful examples they never even get my consideration. The hyped sound you describe is what I heard even however many years ago it was. How some companies stay in business never once making anything good I will never understand.
Still and all, the factory power cord you are talking about, unless CJ does something very unusual it is a standard off the shelf black rubber piece of you know what. I don't say POS lightly, the cheapest power cords I have ever tried handily beat the rubber POS.
If you managed to buy the one power cord on the planet worse than a rubber POS you simply need to do a lot better job of selecting your power cords. You could start with the cheapest oldest Synergistic Master Coupler, which in spite of being 30+ years old they are so widely regarded as excellent they sell today for what they sold for new back then. That simply does not happen without it being a lot better than the freebie you are using now.
