How about Auto manufacturers? I’ve seen some pretty mediocre tires come stock, and on higher end cars better rubber. FWIW, Naim who are fairly conservative. Offer their own upgraded power cables and interconnects, their engineers can hear the difference, so do PS Audio, and I’m sure a few others. Power cords that come with equipment are adequate, and if one thinks that’s all that’s needed then fine be happy, but don’t Be a Cable Cop !
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
I have two PS Audio AC3 and two Pangea AC 14 cables I don't use. My thinking is that Ayre wouldn't supply cables that are inadequate for their components. Is that thinking flawed?
