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?

After reading many opinions on PC's here, it seems like it all boils down to two factors:

A cable needs to be of a sufficient gauge to feed your unit the required power to operate.

Then what's left?  What else can differentiate one power cord from another?  From what I ascertain, whatever its inner and outer construction is, it seems many think it is one power cords ability to filter out impurities/noise coming in from the grid.

Unlike other cables, I don't see how the delivery of electricity can act as a tone control other than the impact of the two items mentioned above.

OP -- I am very sorry the thread is hijacked (again) from the naysayers.
The name of this thread is "Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?"

The OP is asking for opinions, not a boiler plate answer of yes or no.

I will say that although the formal definition of the word "naysayer" is not specifically related to religion, other than on this website I have most often if not only heard it associated with those who did not believe in a particular religion. I know it is just my hang-up, and I may be way off base here, but I find the repetitive use of the word by those who believe in certain tweaks describing those that do not believe in the tweaks as being just this side of disturbing.

This post will self destruct in one day.






Who is this millercarbon dude?
Nobody that understands what we consider important.

I hate to get into this, but will anyway.

I can’t believe that they are even thinking about opening things up. But I am sitting here as a retired person for the last year and a half.

If I was about to lose everything because my job had dried up because of social distancing, I guess I would elect to go back to work.
