I believe it is merely a category of NEC safety rating and has nothing to do with tone, etc....
You'll notice that the back panels of Dr Z amps look more and more like something you'd see on offerings from large production companies. I'm guessing that this is because Mike Zaite is doing everything he can to follow electrical safety codes and to ultimately achieve UL approval for his amplifiers.
This is smart business for a rapidly growing electronics company like Dr Z that wants to grow safely, minimize risk to end-users while also reducing exposure to litigation.
But I could be wrong! ;-)

Keeping it brief... it's a wiring class code. It's a low voltage cable. When it's rated Class 2 it meets specific criteria for certain uses without a conduit, inside or outside of a wall, etc. It has insulation that will meet the Fire Code and/or National Electric Code. It's on the amp so we know how to do it up right and proper... with safety in mind.
Here's another basic explanation: "What is CL-2 and CL-3? CL-2 is an abbreviation for "Class 2" as it refers to the wiring code in the USA. Many states require low voltage cables to be "CL-2" rated in order for them to be installed inside the wall. A CL-2 rated cable has a slightly different outer insulation with a different fire rating. A CL-2 rated cable can be used outside the wall. Class 3 is a rating for cables over 300 volts. "

Conductors approved for control circuits are identified as type CL2 or CL3, for Class 2 and Class 3 wiring respectively
