The A-S amps will sound slightly different with different power cords, as will all electronics I've ever used. The generic cords A-S supplies with the amps sound okay. Other cords sound better. But the amps are NOT finicky and do NOT "require a well matched cord" as stated by Sonic_genius.
As Essentialaudio says, some cords offer better sound than others. And this is true with any piece of gear offering the neutrality and resolving capabilities similar to A-S.
