What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear

Wait, how do I get that $10 wine to taste like $90.?

Jmcgrogan2, thanks for your spot on observations of Schipo's comments.
No reason to insult those of us who know we are not being duped. If you're
(Schipo) smarter then everyone else on this site, perhaps your rare wisdom
is better used elsewhere.

I'm always hoping the cheaper cable sounds better, I didn't want the after market power cord to improve the sound of my system. But unfortunately that wasn't the case.

>>Audio Research ships their reference Series with cheap stock cords but they use expensive Shunyata cables at shows and in their factory listening room.

Possibly because they know that gullible, anal retentive audiophiles won't seriously listen to otherwise great audio gear unless it is connected to the hospital-grade power outlet via a power cord the approx. diameter of a well-stuffed kishka.

Possibly because they get it donated for free for showing with their own stuff.
