Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?

With an Integrated like Accuphase, you should try few PC’s. I would look into Zavfino and Audio Envy brands that eliminates the need to mess around with DIY cables. Like you, my entire system is plugged into a pair of Isolation Transformer based power distributor / conditioner. And I can easily discern differences in PC’s on my Accuphase Integrated.

I would try Zavfino Fina or Majestic. And AE’s Ocean Expanded or Mega. I would also consult with Captain at Audio Envy. There is also a listing on USAudio Mart for Audio Envy Ocean Elite 3P for $125. That’s a good price if you don’t buying used.

Sorry to hear about your experience with AE cords. Since you’re willing to give them away, @duketbrd88 may take you up on your generosity.

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.
