If you are using a power conditioner with a removeable cord, then start there. That place affects the power for all the components in the system. I would do the CD player or DAC next; then the power amp. If you use a sub, then a better cord will usually tighten the bass.
AC Power cords, which components 1st...?
I've been lying in the background with regard to upgrading power cords and I'm now thinking that I might give it a try. I fully subscribe to the laws of diminishing returns with the exponential (if not worse) price curves of these products. Therefore, I'd be looking in the $50 - $250 dollar price range. I don't need long cables (3 - 4 ft should work) and that may help the price point. Pre-owned is fine with me as well.
Given that, which components first? power amps, pre-amp, source...? and, any thought on power cord given my predisposition?
Aloia power amps, Casanova pre/pro. Capitole MKII (soon, I hope).
Thanks
