Re: "R we kidding ourselves about improvement the designated power cord brings to a system"

In terms of a simple picture of connections to the electric grid that speaks to the "... thousands of miles of power lines from power plant to our apartment" scenario see:

The following post can be followed to locate some simple documents from an established company that speaks to the source of electrical noise, in particular noting that typically the worst sources of contamination originate from within a building (which can be generalized to within a residential apartment or house), not from the external power grid.

Now none of the above speake directly to the question of aftermarket power cords; for that perhaps you may find the Jon Risch Website interesting. As others have said however one should experiment to discover (or not) for oneself. If you have access to local audio shops why not stroll in and honestly state your slepticism but say you wish to experiment firsthand and see if they'd be willing to let you audition something. It's amazing what a little candor will accomplish.
