Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet?


I am curious about improving my sound with power cable upgrades.

At present, I'm using a setup which Almarg (RIP) used and which he recommended to me:

Wall outlet (hospital plug)
Audience Adept Response-ar2p power conditioner
Wiremold strip w/ Shunyata defender

I use Pangea AC 9 SE and AC14 SE cords, at present.

This setup has been quiet and hum free. 

Still I'm curious about whether better power cables might make some improvements, here or there.

The question is, whether any improvements a power cable could bring would be blunted or nullified by the setup I'm presently using.

Any thoughts?

Those who say power cables never matter, please go watch a cute cat video instead of posting here, please.

@vthokie83   When you installed your dedicated lines did you use s special audiophile wire?
 

 I installed two dedicated home run 10 gauge lines 15 years ago and the electrician used 10 ga. THHN (jacketed spiral wound aluminum clad copper).  The lines are in an aluminum conduit per code because they run along a beam in the garage, i.e., not in a wall until they enter the listening room.   I also installed two FIM Gold outlets for the dedicated lines.  I’ve often wondered if solid core ROMEX or an audiophile wire would improve the sound.
