Pwr Cord Upgrade for PS Audio Pwr Plant Premiere?

I would like to pose a question regarding the need for any type of power cord upgrade for a PS Audio Power Plant Premiere (PPP) power regenerator. If I understand its workings properly, the PPP will take “dirty” line current and, through its electronics, regenerate it into a consistent source of new “clean” AC power. It is not coloring or conditioning the existing power feed in the classical sense. It this is true, what benefit would an upgraded power cord provide? If “dirty” AC is being regenerated into “clean” AC, does it matter, within reason, how “dirty” the power is to begin with? So, back to my question….would an upgrade of the power cord for a PPP provide any benefit at all and, if so, why?

I appreciate and value your comments. Well maybe not so much value for Jdoris :) I'm running a dedicated 20 amp circuit with hospital grade outlets. Elizabeth, it would seem my power feed is a bit cleaner than yours, incoming is 2.2%, outgoing 0.4% with the stock cord. As you say, opinions may vary, and as usual, they do. Since my out is already what would seem to be low, I may end up as did Foster_9 with no discernible difference. But, I think I'll make the small investment in the Pangea to see if I, like you and Stanwal, perceive an improvement. If there is none, I can always use it between the two power regenerators. ;) Thanks for the input. Love this site.
