Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad?


I currently have a Transparent Audio Reference PowerIsolator power conditioner and a Transparent Reference Powerlink going from the conditioner to the outlet wall (it came with the power conditioner). I will soon be replacing the stock cords on all my components incrementally that will plug into the conditioner and wondered if it is recommended to go with all Transparent Power Cords or can I go with a different company such as Nordost, Shunyata, or Audience? I didn't know how important it was to keep this matched to my power conditioner and its dedicated cable. In case it matters, I DON'T have Transparent Audio speaker cables and interconnects. This is my only Transparent product thus far in my system. Thanks for your input.

As might be expected, opinions on this question will differ. See this thread, which addressed a similar question. My opinion was summarized in the first of my posts in that thread dated 1-5-12, in which I said:

I see no reasonable plausibility in the expectation that given power cord characteristics will result in effects on the sound that are consistent across components that perform different functions, that have vastly different fluctuations in their power draw, that have vastly different amounts of power draw, that generate different amounts of rfi, that can be presumed to have different rfi sensitivity, that interpose completely different power supply designs between the AC and the signal path, and that may be completely different designs in just about every other respect.
