Hi Willywonka620
For me as long as current is going through the power cord it is getting broken in.
Using a Kill-A-Watt I've measured how much my equipment draws and then I use an IEC to plug converter (C14-5-15R) to then use my power cord as an extension cord.
Here is one example from Mouser:

I've used power cords as extension cords for lamps, vacuum cleaners, irons, steamers etc. Pretty much any piece of electronics that would draw more than my equipment.
After all that it gets installed on my audio gear and I sit back and relax. YMMV though
