Vintage preamp/amp power cords

Let me just say I don’t want to start a discussion if power cords make or don’t make a difference. I’m just curious to know if folks with older gear with captive power cords mostly considered a replacement with IEC type plug. The power cord on my McIntosh MC2200 is literally a little better than a high quality modern lamp cord, But it’s been there for almost 30 years. The main objective of the replacement would be safety as well as Sonics, if any.

I’m guilty, Furutech IEC AC Inlets and a dremel. Other thing to consider is a better wire on the internal side from the IEC too.
Was there an improvement once I added an upgraded power cord? I would like to think so...*grinz
Edit: Wanted to add, various power cord materials will give you more lows, highs, or a neutral affect.
