"... Ayre designs their products to be used with the stock PC. I tried quite a few PC's on my Ayre components and found the stock cable was the best sounding...."
REGA, NAIM, LFD, LINN do also.
The REGA Couple cable built to their specs by KLOTZ in Germany is a high -end cable that comes standard with their Osiris amp and Isis valve cdp.
Personally and hands-on in my "A" system, I A-B'd many external power cables and I always went back to the REGA stock cable as a superior performer.
Curiously, they bested the $1K+ top Furutech with its gold plated plugs,; the top Oyaide cable, Cardas, Ecosse modded with the top Furutech connectors, and Atlas among others.
The Furutech, LFD, and Ecosse perform admirably in my "B" system
Again, the takeaway is that system synergy - including tailoring cables - matters.
