RE: Class D amps and power chords

I have a Linn 5125 which is technically Class V according to them, however, it is a 5x125 amp that weighs in at a whopping 11 lbs.

I upgraded the power cable to a MIT Z and it made quite a difference, smoothing out the highs and overall improvement. This amp is also some years old.

Your experience may depend on your incoming power and if the amp has any built in rejection of impurities. A cord upgrade is definitely worth trying.

Noteworthy, Merrill Audio who builds high quality Class D amps sells some models with an upgrade cord, and, an option for others.

I have found in my system lower signals benefit the most from upgrading the cord. As example, I noticed more improvement overall in my phono stage opposed to my power amp, although both were worth it.
