Is it worth using an Anticable level 5 for a PHONO PREAMP? Overkill?

I'm a cable guy but not sure about power cables. I have used some budget (but nice) power cords but never did a real listening evaluation with them. My hearing doesn't allow me to discretion I used to have. So, I'm out of the loop now. 

 I had the opportunity to get one of these 8 AWG from a friend, so I was wondering if there could be any negative effect given the unnecessary gauge. 

No! 😎

Common sense and first listen, would suggest that this may be an overkill, but you may also find out that after many hours of use it is not the case. It depends, while personally i would go 14awg for a phono stage, others would prefer a lighter awg but that's normal too. Whatever you do leave it for a while, then you can be sure.
