apparently w/o voice inflection sarcasm is difficult for some to detect ;-) 
Need Footers for Amps on Isolation Platforms?
but there also could be negative effects introduced such as a bit of hardness in the treble. This has been my experience.

What isolation feet under your amp with great result?

Power Conditioner Cables
The ability to hear material benefit from power cord changes is highly dependent on how resolving your system is.

The irony is that a good $1500 DAC will sound better (dynamics, soundstage, detail) than a $1500 analog rig - but it won't sound more analog.   
Which one produces a bigger change... changing a rectifier tube or tubes on my DAC?
