In the 2000s, we had multiple (at least 8) samples of the non-"e," 15A version of the Audience Powerchord, on the audiodharma Cable Cooker. Overall, the Powerchord was...so-so. It was good at keeping noise at bay, and not blowing up image sizes. Other powercords did a better job, at preserving breath, liveliness, and energy.
We've had good success with Wireworld's line-level interconnects and speaker cables [we've Cooked the old Atlantis and Eclipse II from the 1990s, and they were even better than we thought], but not their powercords. Even after Cooking Wireworld's powercords, they are still okay, but not rising above the pack. Within the context of a good high-end audio system, WW's Silver Electra 7 is the sweet spot, offering excellent performance, but at a fraction of the Platinum Electra's price. The SE7 makes the Electra 7 sound kind of chewy, by comparison.
If you already have and like the Electra 7, (a) properly treat it on a cable burn-in device, and if you still have that itch, (b) look for used examples of the SE7 and/or Platinum Electra.
We have no experience with PS Audio's powercords, so I'm not at liberty to comment on them.
