I'm just messin' with ya

Although many people, including EveAnna, will tell you that there is a discernable difference in sound when using different power cords, other people will say that it is a bunch of hooey.
I don't want to dig too deeply into that can of worms (eech!) but it should be easy to see how a properly made, good, high-quality, low- capacitance, super-silver mixed with unobtainium power cable will improve the sound of gear model 'X'; as opposed to the use of a couple of pieces of barbed wire in a PVC tube.
If your power supply is starved for 'juice' the product will suffer. Of course there are many variables that I won't go into in detail. Things like power supply design, etc. I'm trying to keep this pretty basic.

But, in your case, don't worry about it. You're good to go
