But if the equipment you bought came with a good quality cord that appears to be snug at both ends, you are probably fine.
I think that's Anthony's right on target here.

A boutique cable may have better construction, etc., but will it make an audible difference? The relatively mundane task of getting AC power from the wall to your components' transformers can be done just as well by the supplied power cords, in my opinion.

If you want, try them out. But do some double blind testing, if you can. I've not done it myself, but I think it would be pretty eye-opening to do those tests if you believe you can hear a difference when you are listening to them sighted.

I'd say spend your money on more tangible items -- room treatments, more music, or a nice bottle of wine. You'll get a lot more out of those things!
