That is Definitely possible

I would say 95% of high-end power cords sound "colored," most adding some character of their own. They usually do have better bass and extension, etc, but add something. If you use multiple ones, it just compounds the prolem.

A lot of power conditioners are no good, either.

Stock power cords usuallly commit errors of omission. Not quite the bass power or obvious sparkling clarity, but overall can sound more neutral in tonality.

The reason I personally toil over this stuff is that I want to go beyond it all. I want everything. The extra clarity, detail, power, but at same time awesome linearity and neutrality. There being no perfect power cord and conditioner, you must often have to use cords to negate another cords' problems, etc. I compare this to cooking. If you add too much water, you must add a bit more spices, etc.

When you think you are done with power cords, then you can proceed to interconnects, footers, isolation shelves, etc. No wonder this place is called an asylum.
