Power Cord for Power Conditioner


I'm trying to figure out if it is absolutely necessary to use a company's power cord with their power conditioners. No brand in particular.Any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance,

Some companies may voice the PowerConditioner with a specific cord. These are the hi-fi companies. I'd stick with whatever it came with it for a while and experiment gingerly.

Other companies, perhaps my Panamax, who go to less trouble and source the cord mainly based on price could probably benefit from a cord upgrade. I'd approach this one with a 'got little to lose' attitude. I might even start with some of Elizebeth's overstock of Pangea! hint hint.
for most folks:
It is much less expensive and maybe even easier to ship if you build your conditioner with a detachable fitting and buy cords in case lots. The cord is packaged with the PC for shipping. Less labor and your not dragging a cord around during manufacture.

for audiophiles
cost is no object and they'll experiment with cords until the money runs out.
For your confuser, the powersupply makes enough noise that better power may be irrelevent.

As for a better cord on your conditioner? I'm in the first camp. I use the cord it came with.
Note that I said for the audiophile, cost is no object. I think there is a comedy gig here somewhere.....'You may be an audiophile if.......'

On that basis, I'm probably not an audiophile....I'm a user of gear who at a fairly early stage said enough was enough. I tend to save my obsessive/compulsive side for other things. Maybe my photography?

I think Elizabeth may have found the middle way......which works for her.....
Lacee,
I think the problem many have with demagnetizing stuff with no magnetic properties is one of 'How?' or 'Why?' could it possibly have any effect?

If I could get over that hump, I'd certainly give it a try or at least a trial listen.

Does demagnetizing an LP have the same effect if played on a MC as MM cart?
