Hi Steve. I responded to your system post before. I am a believer in the benefits of better power cords because in my system they make a difference. I recently went through a cable downgrade, $$ wise, but have found some really good cables cheap. Check out ErnieM's (aka Subaruguru) power cords. I recently got his new Prelude No. 13 in Cu, and it is really great! I recently sold off my shunyata and electraglide cords and got his and don't feel I've sacrificed quality. I do find that changing a power cord anywhere in the chain makes a sonic difference and have yet to find that a stock cord is better.
Does an aftermarket power cord matters for Amp?
I am currently using the stock power cord for my VAC Avatar tube integrated amp. I have upgraded my cdp's power cord (given the trigger-down theory with source component) a while ago with a Synergistic Research A/C Master Coupler and had good results. I have been wondering if I should do the same for the Amp and question if it really does make a difference. If so, is it significant and worth the investment?
