Quick power cord question:

With a  DIY power cord that I just made, (pure, solid .9999 12 gauge silver) the tubes in that mono amp seem to be a little brighter than the other amp with the original power cord. So, do you think the tubes are brighter because they are getting more power through the new DIY cord or is the amp having to work harder and that’s why the tubes are brighter?

Really want to know if a tube is brighter, whatever the reason?     Buy one of these, change the variables, measure and eliminate all doubt: https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Light-Klein-Tools-ET130/dp/B071WG7PT4/ref=zg_bs_393278011_2/146-4061357-4825213?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MZWF7PFPY2P6SHZFY9CV

@ OZZY= More ’’power’’ then the wall socket and the wall wiring can deliver? No. The power draw of all appliances is by its design. Not by the power cord. As (oldhvymec) said, brighter is not better.
