Can upgraded power cords help my setup?

I have some KEF LS50 Wireless speakers and decided to use them with a Bluesound Node 2 via a Lifatec optical cable. Can I see a significant and worthy improvement if I swap out my power cords for something like Pangea cords? Do I need the AC 9SE MKII on the speakers or will the AC 14SE MKII be good for each speaker and also the Node 2 (C7?)? Power cords seem to be the only place left for me to tweak the most out of my setup.

Thanks for any input.

Power Cables

High-end power cables are seriously a thing. I'm not kidding. If you believe changing the power cable in your gear will improve the audio or video...I have an island I want to sell you.

In short (so to speak), power cables have no effect on audio, video or any other kind of fidelity.

@pennsy,

This thread is no place for real electrical knowledge and logic. There's people here referencing Shunyata papers as proof of the science behind high-end cables.
