@reggy hi,  the stock power cord is Generic, nevermind that I-Sheng brand (MIC) , it’s the worst cable you would wanna use. jayctoy would be in better position to advise you the appropriate powercable for your Ares , happy listening.

@reggy  
the debate whether power cable or any cable make any difference has being going for decades. 
some people claim they couldn't notice any difference, perhaps, IMHO they were listening for the wrong things or expect some dramatic changes in sound which isn't going to happen. There are also many occasions whereby audiophile's wife / friends notice minor changes in tones / dynamics etc..  these people are not audiophiles, but just maybe knows better than others in appreciating music. 
  
one analogy i could draw from is : 
the same piece of music /classical song being conducted by different conductors. i guess there would be slight differences in presentation of the same song, and if we are not careful enough, we won't notice what had changed within the song that being conducted by a different conductor.
