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,

Lacee: I think perhaps that it would be more correct to say that it is beyond the realm of science available to the audio industry. Keep in mind that science costs money. If you have a couple million bucks and a climate controlled facility (few million more) you can measure several hundred channels of information down to the pico/femto level at many gigahertz. Problem is that this costs more than the small/medium guys can afford and the big players like Sony dont want to spend the money for such a limited use. Now that said these test machine vendors only spec the gauge of power cord (large, to handle 480 3-phase -most of them that is) and not the vendor or characteristics. Implies that either the cord does not matter or that the power systems are designed to make the cord not matter. The latter would explain much of the hear vs. not hear argument. Personally I'm open. I thought speaker cables were bunk until I tried one with a good recording. I thought usb cables were bunk until I got to try several on a really good system. Now I'm gonna keep my mouth shut because I dont know as much as I thought!
