Ok kids, fire away. I fully expect it. Take your best shot...
Cables are a fact of life in audio. I've done my best to organize mine, keeping low level, high impedance cabling as physically separated from the higher energy cables as I possibly can. Yes, I know they're there too, but I also want that minimized. If there's a way to hide the cable, it's tucked away and secured.
From the front, the only cables visible are the speaker cables, the cable to the subwoofer, and two power cables. Clean.

So, if I have to see a wire or cable I at least want it to not be ugly. Power cables absolutely do not make any difference to the sound quality of the system. No one iota. But I can't hide them and given the choice I'd much rather have a better one to look at. So for the cost (~$20 total) of an Aliexpress power cable an Amazon power strip, I have a little better looking power cord.
