Very good idea, expensive, out of my league, but for audio, it is an excellent++ idea. Wish I had the deep pocket for it. Jealous! i would try to use a power cord, but I can n to justify 200 dollars for a 3 foot piece of rubber, flexible cloth, and a small copper wire in it. I just stick with what the mfgr supplies. Still jealous. ;)

The power cord is far away electrically from the DC power supply. In fact the power cord is not directly connected due to the power transformer is magnetically coupled. An electrically noisy mains may cause some issues. But, with sufficient filtering in the power supply design even electrical noise on the power distribution can be filtered out. Perhaps expecting an improvement may cause the listener to hear an improvement. The human brain is amazing. So, perhaps you can hear an improvement due to expecting it with a positive mood in your brain.

The differences with power cords and my amps weither thay are solid state, tube, or class D is very challenging for me to her.
