Power cord upgrade

I want to upgrade power cords for my streamer, Aurender A15 which currently has a Shunyata v14 digital.

And Puritan 156 which has the classic cord it comes with.

I believe in system synergy, so I am leaning towards Transparent, and/or Audioquest.

I have ARC ref5se with the Transparent Reference, and ref75se with the AQ Hurricane.

Guess my thought is the streamer and 156 PC are maybe a bottleneck. Won't know without trying, right? I am satisfied with the over all sound now, so looking for more of it. Make any sense??

NONBELIEVERS:  Hear me.

I'm an EE since 1980. I would never fall for this noise people emit about cables making any difference -- audible or measurable. In the 80s and 90s I worked designing custom integrated circuits at a couple of the big-name manufacturers here in the US.

BUT THEN IN 1989, working through a pair of Mc60s, after recap, metal film, tube rolling, etc, I heard a *definite* difference in current-adequate power cables. Imagine my hard head being forced to believe. But there it was. A clear difference in clarity of bass, mids, and highs.

So now I am converted. I know less, but I have heard more, and I now believe. You should too.
