Yep. Like Nonoise above, every single component I have tried has been improved with the use of a suitable aftermarket power cord. Not subtly, either.
My experience with Vandersteen Quatro's was that some Elrod Statements feeding their built in subwoofers brought worthwhile improvements in bass reach and tonality, and also brought better nuance and tonality well up into the midrange. That surprised me. The Quatro's come with a very heavy gauge OEM power cord, unlike many, but the aftermarket cords were definitely worth it for me.
