Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?

I have Accuphase E5000 plugged into my Equitech son of q jr. balanced power supply. Sounds great and I have had the Equitech for a good 15 years now. Everything is dead quiet, not even a hiss coming from the system. Just started thinking about power cords and if it is worth it, I’m in the U.S., if that matters. Thanks

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this...

@stereo5 I see the Accuphase cables you are talking about on their website, but no power cables from them. I just see eBay sellers selling the power cables for around $35. I don’t believe they are actually from Accuphase.

So Accuphase makes a cost-no-object nearly $20,000 integrated amps, with hand selected components chosen for sound quality then cheaps out with a Two-Buck Chuck power cord? I'm kinda thinking not.

You said that it sounds great so you should be good to go. Find a place that will lend you a power cord and try it out. Don’t buy before you listen

Why chinese junk? I try them and many more with me the results are great.

Pay 1000 or 20.000 dollar for a cable thats junk. Everything is comming from china.
