On a similar note years ago (at least 10 to 15 years) I was having my Aragon power amp updated to Mark II status and I had personally brought the amp to the Aragon factory which was located somewhat near to my home. At the time the power (mains) cord upgrade craze was in full swing so I asked the chief designer of the Aragon amp if changing the power cord would be worthwhile. What he told me was that the stock power cord was all that was needed and perhaps changing the power cord would result in a very slightly difference in the sound but that the difference might not be an improvement just a difference.
