Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?


I have Accuphase E5000 plugged into my Equitech son of q jr. balanced power supply. Sounds great and I have had the Equitech for a good 15 years now. Everything is dead quiet, not even a hiss coming from the system. Just started thinking about power cords and if it is worth it, I’m in the U.S., if that matters. Thanks

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this...

If you don't jump down the rabbit hole you will save a lot of money, but I have no doubt that if you were to upgrade one or more power cords on your components you would hear some type of differences depending upon your listening skills and level of components. I've reached the point where I prefer to relax and enjoy the music but I'll admit that every now and then I get the itch experiment.

I like to DIY AC cables using shielded cables and nice connectors (not Wattgate).

The main thing I look for really is shielding, as I feel it helps reduce noise induced from all the WIfi/Ethernet cables running around a home entertainment center.  I use a Furman power conditioner, which is great at reducing AC noise, so from that point where I know the AC is much cleaner to my integrated is fully chielded AC cable.
