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?

Ha ha ha!  The "religion of IEC cables" !!! You have the power cables that run in the walls from your power center to the AC outlet near your soundsystem:  They are just plain straight parallel copper cables @ cents per feet...

And you would get "a much better sound" placing those "magic IEC cables" between the AC Outlet and the equipment?   We call that the placebo effect and it will cost you a premium!!!

Not only that, equipment must be certified for EMI and the power supplies / casing must be designed for that.  And it's not like power supplies are new technology...  If your equipments are so "fragile" not to support a normal environment, it is simply by mean of a bad power supply design.  In that case, change that badly designed equipment for something better, whatever the price you paid...
