Power Cable will not fully insert. Help.

@twoleftears  I did indeed. I was unsuccessful in this but it’s probably due to my lack of experience. The first power cord took some effort but nothing like this. 
 

I love the effect these cords have and I have to say I agree with those who said power cords were as/nearly as big an improvement as speaker cable.  I didn’t and still don’t completely understand why or how, but love that they do. 

It’s funny,  I have bought power cords that are so tight they were a pain to insert and I’ve bought a power cord that was so heavy and the plugs fit so loosely, it would not stay in at all! I literally had a Block of wood under the plugs on both ends to keep them from falling out.

Live and learn.

I agree that a PC can play a significant role in a component or system's sound. Can you elaborate on the sonic signature of the AE Ocean 3P?

@lowrider57  I am hearing greater clarity, wider channel separation and lower bass than I was previously getting. 
 

Very happy. All my cables are AE except for power cables I have yet to replace.

I think I'll give one a try. I have a pair of ICs on order.

Thanks.
