New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?

I bought new an expensive(for me) well known and reviewed power cord for my very good amp and plugged it directly onto the wall socket. After a couple of weeks of daily use I hear no change in the sound quality from a $500 cord. I don’t want to name it for fear of getting my thread deleted. You would know it or at least be aware of the company. Did I throw away several thousand dollars? Before I get the snake oil answer I want to let you know that I bought an upgraded cord for my pre as suggested by the pre’s manufacturer and am pleased with the results.

I guess for full disclosure the amp’s manufacturer said don’t bother. But I had had good luck with the pre so I thought it would be a good idea.

Anybody else have this happen to them?

*S*  I'm in no particular hurry to enter into the "Oil or No?" fray today...
For that matter, no real plans other than those already in hand or in my face...*L*

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss....and the playlists and applied volume can keep me tentatively 'comfortably numb"....

(....I have given my amp..well, 'amps', since there's 6...a heavier pc that's been lurking in storage, and it's longer than the typicals...)

No pedigree, just mo' copper...
