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...

Though I have read, in a few places, that Pass Labs uses Silent Source power cords and cables to voice their products...and also in their demo rooms at audio shows...

Power cords, and all cabling, a hotly debated question here, hundreds of threads...easy answer is purchase a few that offer full return...I use aftermarket cords but many won’t/don’t...though if it sounds great, clearly your cord is good enough...if good enough is good enough !!!!  With an amp as good as yours I would certainly want to try out some cords to see for myself in my system...

If you are discerning enough to have purchased that awesome amplifier, trust yourself to try some power cords, and decide what you like. Confirmation bias works in both directions. Since you can try for free, enjoy the process and trust your own judgement.

I've found that used power cords hold their value extremely well, especially from companies that don't change their models very often...
