Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?

@jjss49 Yeah, It's crazy, Even looking is crazy because there are so many options. 

@westcoastaudiophile What Accuphase high grade power cables? The facory black one with molded ends is decent, i would say a bit thicker than some other standard ones I have seen.

@macg19 Thanks, yeah I understand what you are saying. Thanks

Well here is a backwards way I think about power cords. I tried a bunch of power cords found some I liked. I ran dedicated  20 amp circuit s to my room six dedicated ones in fact. I ended up trying a furutech  top of the line receptacle  that was a mistake  if you want to save money. Lol so I bought five more in fact I bought extras  that were gold and rhodium  plated lol auditioned receptacles. I bought furutech ends for the powercords the top of the line ones and bought some second from the top gold plated ones then compared ends. And different  plugs into different  receptacles. So.e components  I like better with a rhodium  plug and a gold receptacle  some vise versa some with the same plating material.  As far as factory cords go my levinson  33h  has captive cords on them same thing can be said about there products  as accuphase  that the factories  spend time and dollars on there designs of equipment  but changing  the plug ends on the factory  cords was a huge difference.  Changed fuses very good improvement  I have not compared fuse to fuse yet but likely  will. Now for a big change that was awesome  but is way out there lol I upgraded  the service  into my home. I went from a 100 amp service  to a 200 amp service but what I really did or what I think made the difference  there was while I was at it the underground wire was aluminum  and I paid the extra 2k to have it replaced  with copper instead of the lower Guage aluminum. Lol that was huge not sure it would have showed as much without all the other power improvements. Personally  I am not a fan of any power conditioner. Everything g is direct I to the wall. The next things to look at will be upgrading  the power wire from the box to the receptacles. And cyro treated breakers. Perhaps  they work Perhaps not. That is the  life of the audio file  spend money to try things out and just because  you spend money doesn't  mean it will be good. Lol I have a closet full of wasted hi-fi  dollars. You sell it when you can and move on. There are times though when you make a change and try a piece you rejected in the past and with the new combo it sounds better not often but once in awhile.  The dhlabs redwave the generation  before the current  one I really like and the second from the top bulk furutech  I really like that is a great amp cord. Make sure you use the top end iec and plug ends on them. I have tried a bunch of ends and the higher you go the better basically.  That has been my experience.  Lol a thousand dollars  on the plug and iec before  you add the cord in there is worth it. 😉 

@retiredfarmer Damm, thanks! I'm pretty happy withe Equi=tech Son of Q balanced power supply I have had for years. Everything is dead silent with the "black background" that everyone talks about. I have a 200 amp service. Was just bored and started reading into power cords. It has four filtered outlets and 6 that are not. The filtered are for dacs and cd players etc. So, pretty damm happy with the sound for now.

IME, the ‘stock’ cord is serviceable at best but not at same level as some of the aftermarket cords being suggested to you. Ultimately, only you can decide if aftermarket PC’s are worth the money. I have experimented with few cords on my Accuphase Integrated and each of them bettered the stock ‘black’ powercord. 

@lalitk Thanks, I will try one sooner than later. I'm sure aftermarket one is better. Appreciate it!
