As long as it doesn't affect/touch the connectors I guess it's okay. I've never done it, either.
I have several PS Audio Jewel ACs around and could experiment with them if I get flustered enough. I don't know how that might affect the sound; I went to Wireworld cords more for style than anything else (plus they are recommended highly here). And don't get me wrong, I like them. Looking at PS Audio's website last night, PS Audio still makes a limited number of power cords, the Jewel not among them apparently. I saw the AC3, AC5, and AC12, with nothing longer than 2m. A brief experience with the AC5 showed it to be stiffer than I preferred, hence I sent it back. I do recall the bass was better than with the stock cords on my 501s, though.
