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...

from lalitk "I would look into Zavfino and Audio Envy brands".  I respectfully disagree, at least in part.  I have never owned or listened to Zavfino wires, but I purchased two AE power chords at a show. 

They were really cheap, so I figured what the heck.  After a break-in of 50+ hours, they STILL SOUNDED WORSE than the plain-black OEM power chords that came with my Pre-Amp and Amp (both Ayre).  Undeterred, I switched to the Anti-cable Level 3 - finally heard how a good power chord can improve Sound Q. 

I now own four of the A-C Level 3 power chords.  The AE power chords are still in a box in my garage: I tried to give them away on AG, but no takers - I think that speaks volumes.

P.S. I have no affiliation with either vendor.
