Power cable from wall socket to power strip

Hej

Firstly; yes I believe that cables makes a difference. All cables. I don’t want a discussion with ”non believers”.

I use a power strip (Wireworld Matrix 2) which is connected to the wall socket with a Furutech Empire. But now I need a little longer power cable and I thought; does the power cable from the wall socket to the power strip really matter? I mean, all the way to my wall socket it’s just ordinary wire, so why should the part to the power strip matter. It’s just the last bit to the devices that matters, I’ve been told. Or…?
What are your thoughts about this?

Sure it matters.

First let me state that I am a SR fan. I know a couple of years ago, they made a "master" power cable (I forget what they called it exactly...) for precisely this purpose.

it mattered on my BPT power conditioner when I went from their basic cord to their top of the line...

But the meaning with a power conditioner is to "clean the power". Right?
So how can the power cable to the conditioner matter? Or am I just stupid here?

I have no idea how. I’m not knowledgeable in such matters. And the cable was borrowed/returnable, so no ulterior motive to "pretend" I liked it. In fact I kind of didn’t want to like it so I wouldn’t "have" to buy it...but it made a nice improvement for minimal cost, especially considering I got most of my money back when I sold it...BPT isn’t around anymore, so cannot ask them...

From the wall socket to the power strip ( or any power conditioner )  ; I would think that the gauge of the cable has some importance .

10 gauge would be better than 14 gauge.
