Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet?

I am curious about improving my sound with power cable upgrades.

At present, I'm using a setup which Almarg (RIP) used and which he recommended to me:

Wall outlet (hospital plug)
Audience Adept Response-ar2p power conditioner
Wiremold strip w/ Shunyata defender

I use Pangea AC 9 SE and AC14 SE cords, at present.

This setup has been quiet and hum free.

Still I'm curious about whether better power cables might make some improvements, here or there.

The question is, whether any improvements a power cable could bring would be blunted or nullified by the setup I'm presently using.

Any thoughts?

Those who say power cables never matter, please go watch a cute cat video instead of posting here, please.

Sorry but I forgot to mention that you have to reterminate them. If you are the kindof guy that does this, you'll be pretty good for cheap. If not, try ice age cable in MI. Good power cables at reasonable prices. I just realized I gave an incomplete suggestion above and wanted to clear it up. Here is one if the chinese cables I reterminated lately.

Having said that, I’m using the AC9 SE mkll cord on my Hegel, but have it plugged right into the wall. Mostly because the AC9 is so darn stiff that it kept pulling itself out of the amp when I moved it even a little to reach the AR6.
