Consistency with power cords?

Is it better to have the same power cord throughout the system or doesn't it really matter assuming you have a quality cord for each component?

The power amp is second IMO. I do not wish to spend the money to get a great cord for each component, so I got one great one for the wall/conditioner and lesser (but still good) cords for the rest of the system. The reason I think the best cord should go there is because that is the one place that will affect the character of the whole system.

This is where I have a high end Blue Circle cord. The rest of the cords are standard Vansevers cords. My HT system has an Audio Power Pack II which is a great $230 conditioner. Also has a detachable cord. Even the $150 Vansevers Super Companion in my office has a IEC which now has a modestly better cord than the decent 14 guage one that Mike includes.
