Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?

Thank you turnbowm for answering my question in regard to what aftermarket cables you've compare to stock ones. I can't speak to audioquest as I've never owned them, but pangia never impressed me much. They are well made however. If you're so inclined check out Jena or Siltech. I've had great results with both of them. 

ATdavid, Still waiting on your answer to that question. 

turnbowm, heaudio,
Please list the aftermarket power cords you have compared to stock power cords?

Very observant of you thyname.

I couldn't agree more. If your system has the resolution & your hearing is at least average, a high end aftermarket power cord can greatly improve the sound quality.

kozka,
About 6 hours a day on average (more recently). Also, the earth isn't flat. 

thyname, Nope, just the opposite 

dowjones, Some observations about that link...

He really didn't get into how they actually sound... Weird, unless he doesn't really care about sound quality

He did put "audiophile cable" in quotation marks... which is accurate because what he was testing was far from a high end power cord

His set up is not optimum. For starters, that power strip everything is connected to could easily mask any real measurable differences. But even as *ssnine as his set up is, there was a measurable difference with the $20 "audiophile" cord 

I get why he did the article but don't know why any audiophile would bother putting any stock in his outcome, which apparently you do since you linked it.
