Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad?

I currently have a Transparent Audio Reference PowerIsolator power conditioner and a Transparent Reference Powerlink going from the conditioner to the outlet wall (it came with the power conditioner). I will soon be replacing the stock cords on all my components incrementally that will plug into the conditioner and wondered if it is recommended to go with all Transparent Power Cords or can I go with a different company such as Nordost, Shunyata, or Audience? I didn't know how important it was to keep this matched to my power conditioner and its dedicated cable. In case it matters, I DON'T have Transparent Audio speaker cables and interconnects. This is my only Transparent product thus far in my system. Thanks for your input.

I should preface my question by asking those people who really want to help to only answer. A sarcastic sentence is wonderful help, Devilboy. If you could care less, please don't answer anymore.

Stringreen,

Which power conditioners have you tried? Just want to find out more information to interpret your negatives of power conditioners. Thanks

But isn't the Shunyata not current limiting as well? Power Conditioners seems like a gamble for sure. I actually sent my Transparent Conditioner back because I didn't want to risk it based on the return policy. I am going to be more patient and play around with speaker placement and cable upgrades first, and then figure out the power conditioner. Everyone seems to have different stories and often feel tempted based on the great results people have had with unlimited current conditioners. But it is risky unless there is a great trial period and good return policy.
