$$ power cables have no value, other than nice look / flexibility / Dr feel-good. All high end equipment I am aware of, supplied with the same pwr cables as used in the performance tests. I would love to hear about “blind test” results between $1000 and $5 power cables! Typical house wiring uses tiny wires, having x100 resistance than any power cables of hifi components. 

If high freq power noise bothers you, you need LPF or power conditioner. Easy way to fix is to add filter clamp to your cable.

@facten I am design engineer, and my job is to actually measure components including all cables etc to make sure performance spec is satisfied. As I see typical power cable resistance is about 3 mOhms, expensive one is 2 mOhms, including wall outlet and device connector. Some very good quality components have power cable attached, which does not make them less hifi.

Information about “blind test” results, where expensive power cable superiority confirmed vs stock cable would be welcome.
