Aftermarket power cord

I'm wondering if its better to connect an aftermarket powercord directly from a wall socket to my preamp, or from my MonsterCable HTS5000 power center? I have read that its better to have power directly from the wall socket to a power amp, does this also pertain to a preamp? I'm also wondering if I will receive the sonic benefits I'm looking for if the power is passed through the power center and then the aftermarket cord?

As Estmad stated the results may be different depending on the actual combination of equipment used.
In my case I run aftermarket power cords from my HTS 2000 to everything (also changed the stock PC on the HTS + hospital grade Hubbel plug) except amplifier that is fed directly from wall through Camelot Sir Bors power cord. Estmad the P 300 is in my wish list.......
I tried wall direct and through the HTS and with it I got the best results with my preamp.
Do some testing and make your decision
