Can flexible power cables sound good?

Just borrowed some hefty power cables from my locale dealer. The shop is closed because of Covid-19 so he borrowed me some very nice cables and a PS Audio Power Plant P20 to play with.
The PS PC P12 is simple not bendable and the same goes for many of the other cables.
That's a real problem for me. I don't have the space to move my rack out and rearrange all my equipment and electrical sockets to make room for such hefty cables.  

So are there really good power cables that are also flexible?

My Signal Cable power cord wants to droop a little in the back of my Jolida Fusion 3502P power amp.  Fortunately it sits so close to the floor that I can prop it up to a level position.  It seems like the IEC end of some cords are loose for some reason.  This is not the first time I've had this problem with a piece of equipment and an after market power cord.

I have a Signal Cable on my power amp and honestly can't tell the difference between it and the stock cord.  Maybe I just don't have the hearing for it anymore or maybe my system isn't resolving enough.  Who knows? 
It looks better than the stock cord though.  
I have upgraded all my stock cords with after market boutique cords and really don't think it has made any difference but for peace of mind It makes me feel better knowing I have a better(?) quality cable hooked to my gear.
Maybe some day for shits and grins I'll replace all them with stock cables and see if I notice a change in the sound.

Need to give the black electrical tape a try as well.
