Power Cord for Power Conditioner


I'm trying to figure out if it is absolutely necessary to use a company's power cord with their power conditioners. No brand in particular.Any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance,

Well, lets look Rwwear - original poster asked if different power cable can be used and while he was offered by Elizabeth viable alternative of very good and inexpensive Pangea you had to jump in to express your disbelief, as you always do, even if it did not answer original question.

More, you jump on any possible occasion to make silly jokes instead of answering questions. For instance, when poster asked why longer power cord seems to work better for him you answered:

"I held an 8' and 5' power cord up to my ear and I thought they both sounded the same. I guess I'm not an audiophile."

Very mature!
Just because you do not hear a difference doesn't mean others cannot. That was my point in an earlier post. If YOU do not hear a difference or actually an improvement then don't spend the money. It's that simple. On the other hand, if you want to be cool like us other audiophiles then don't worry about how it sounds as long as it looks good. (That was a tongue in cheek comment). I have made changes that made things worse. I'm not too proud to admit that. Its a learning experience.

Consider that if cables and connectors make no difference in sound then why would amps and turntables sound different?
I guess audiophilia is a serious business and no one is allowed to joke about anything. Well excuse me if you don't like what I have to say don't my posts.
We've all seen or heard about the rather dim witted bully who loves to instigate trouble by picking on the apparently weaker or defenseless skinny kid, kid with braces, "geekier" kid, or whoever...
Finally someone comes along who challenges him by standing up for what he knows is right ( in front of the increasing crowd of onlookers who have always wanted someone to stop the bully's insistent obnoxious taunting and instigating when in fact he really didn't know what he was talking about) and puts the bully in his place resulting in the bully "Losing face".
Then, as the bully sees the huge crowd surrounding him he realizes everyone sees him for what he truly is (see previous description: obnoxious instigator) and in that crowd (for example, a post of over 80 comments and potentially thousands of "quiet" on-looking readers), the bully makes one more last ditch effort to regain some trace of dignity and exclaims "I was only kidding".
The crowd laughs their own little look of pity on the bully as he continues to make his empty, hollow excuses and they quietly disperse...finally relieved that someone stood up to him and did the right thing...
And don't forget...just as its always been here...the bully will insist on the "Last word"...with some kind of irrelevant, feeble "comeback" which, let's face it...is the real final joke of it all.
Moral of the story: trust your own ears. Agree to disagree if you must, but respect the opinions of others and their rights to them...
And try an aftermarket powercord in YOUR system! Remember: many cable manufacturers offer trial periods with refunds if you're not fully satisfied with the readily noticeable improvement!!!
Enjoy.
