5% gain is quite a bit to expect with any pwr cord change from just a stock thick gauge cord.
I’ve been using upgraded cords for a long time,generally make my own,and without question they do lwr the noise floor,have better defined dynamics,and are generally smoother and more refined across the board.
I’ve owned many class d amps and I found that with all of them,they like being powered up all the time.My latest amp a Lyngdorf 2170 definitely likes being left on,not on standby,all the time for the very best in sound and also is ready to go at any time.
I recommend that you try a reasonable priced cord and listen for yourself and compare to a stock cord.
