Not really, in this case the owner does have the cord. And unlike complex electronics power cords are supposed to be an inert part of the chain...much like the solder on a joint. Designers of gear probably use a standard cord because they know its common [everyone has it] and its widely available and of course its cheap. For example if someone use a $1000 power cord to design and voice a DAC they could probably be sure that few customers would be able to hear what the DAC is supposed to sound like, unless they too bought that cord. Which is my point, what ever your gear sounds like with a standard power cord is what it is supposed to sound like...that is neutral. Changing a power cord is much like using an EQ to tweak the sound here or there...probably getting the most out of the component but tweaking the sound none the less. Having said all of this I must say that yes, I do use aftermarket power cords and even some home brew and do like the sound. But I always go back to the stock cord to give myself a reference point.

Just my .02
