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?

The power cable included with your amp if perfectly adequate for your amp to work well.  High end amp manufacturers accept the market forces that dictate having detachable power cords.  From an engineering and cost perspective it is better to have a non-detachable power cord.  One less interface for those electrons to deal with and the connectors are usually the most expensive part of a power cord.  Additionally, many amp manufacturers simply don't buy into the power cord thing.  The might not say it publicly, but they think it's a non-issue.
