I agree with Duster.
I would add some aftermarket power cord manufactures float the shield and do not connect it to the equipment ground at the plug ground terminal. Some Shunyata power cords are made that way.
You might try building the cord with the shield connected to the equipment ground terminal on the plug first. Give the power cord sufficient time to break in with you getting used to listening to the cord then lift the shield from the equipment ground from the plug and listen for any difference. If you do try it both ways post back your results.
