Nick,

The reason I ask about the source is because if the source (+ power, and ambient) is clean, then amps, especially good ones like in the 8ks will have little to no benefit from a power cord. On the other hand, if you have dirty inputs, then there may be more room for improvement with power cords. But I don't have any experience with 8ks, so this is just theory.
