I have sometimes upgraded stock power cables with modestly-priced Belden 14/3 shielded cables. Don't hear any difference but figure the better shielding can't hurt. Tried a few higher priced cables but also didn't hear a difference.

Lew Johnson, of Conrad-Johnson, once told me that under normal household conditions he couldn't imagine how a power cable could make a difference in any of his products. He said that his power supplies would filter any noise picked up by a power cable in a home environment.
I don't hear much difference with tube gear, but do with digital components.
