Most manufacturers of high end gear expect that customers will want to choose a different power cord so their gear comes with stuff (a notable exception is NAIM). On the plus side, the customer is not paying more for the gear coming with a better power cord that is still not up to the liking of the particular buyer.
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?
