Do I need higher quality power cords?

Good idea.  I’ll try that.

So anyone wants to answer my question from above?

I have 14 AWG running inside the wall. I have a Torus plugged into it with a short 14 AWG cable. If I use short 14 AWG power cables for everything, how am I being limited in power, especially for low power gear.

Sure I get that the power cable is stranded whereas the power line is solid in the wall, but there is no way these components are being restricted in power by extra 6 feet of power cable of the same gauge, even if stranded.

@shadorne,@roberjerman, I always find it interesting when those folks who cannot hear differences in power cords ( as well as some other upgrades / tweaks ), claim these sonic differences do not / cannot exist, and then talk about voodoo or meditation. Upgrading the power cord of a piece of equipment is not necessary ( it is not necessary to upgrade tubes either ). But we do it to reveal greater musical involvement with our systems. In each of your cases, one of three things are occurring : 1 = The system is not up to the resolution level in which it can be heard ( including the room acoustics ). 2 = You have not tried any. 3 = You are deaf ( or just have weak hearing / inexperienced hearing ). Oh, I am sorry. There is a 4th. You guys may have joined the troll bandwagon. Nothing you could say will convince me ( and others ) it is our imaginations. I am sorry for my bluntness. Enjoy ! MrD.

Excellent post by MrD.  I agree totally.

Sounds like a case of inflated ego mixed with expectation bias, nothing more and nothing less.

Sorry for my bluntness, MrD.
