Cumulative Effect of cables question

I recently picked up an Isoclean power cord used which kind of blew my mind. Stereo field is wiiiiiiiide. Channel separation is insane. 
 

but

 

it blooms in the lower midrange/mid bass and it’s a little much. I have been re-tuning my subs to counter act it. I moved the cord from the power amp to the Linestage and it was the same but less (given the ridiculous power supply the Athena has I’m not surprised. Anyway, with it on the Linestage I get most of the width and separation and like half the bloom. 
So

It’s got me thinking about getting another to put back on the power amp but am admittedly leary about too much bloom. I currently have an Audio Envy Ocean on everything (save the Linestage). So would adding another Isoclean cumulatively bloom with 2 components in the same chain?

      I've found Kimber and Synergistic's products to allow increasing ambient info through, while decreasing in their editorializing of tonality/timber/etc, as I moved up their product line.

      Both manufacturers' lower priced products are VERY good, as regards transparency, but: everything gets better, moving up the price scale.

      Of course: that's in my room, with my system and there are a multitude of variables.

        Something that has served many well, for a number of years, is the Cable Company's 'Lending Library'.       An excellent way to experiment with a variety of components, for a fraction of list.
