Will upgrading Umbilical cord power supply to preamp improve sonics

H, Is there any advantage to an higher quality umbilical cord. Cables everywhere else make improvements for me through out my system. I've never put much thought into this and don't even know where to buy or if they are even available and if so where? If anyone has done this upgrade was it a large improvement and not just subtle and what was cost per cable? Thanks

Yes, umbilicals pass the Law of Efficacy; it is easy to hear how they impact/improve a power supply. Do not neglect working with the power cord feeding the power supply, as this, too, influences the result. 

I do not find that the umbilical has among the most powerful of influences of cables, but it is distinct, nevertheless. 

I tried WyWires and Clarity Cable umbilicals on the Plus Power Supply for the Exogal Comet DAC. Each has a distinct sound signature. The WyWires was leaner, and the Clarity Cable fuller/thicker.
