In my experience, the two components that seemed to react the most positively to the "right" power cord upgrade were my transport and amp.

In my case, the amp benefited possibly because it was the only component connected directly to the outlet. My reasoning was to find a power cord that worked well with my amp and utilize it in a way that didn't restrict the amp dynamically. I've never liked the way amps sounded in my system when run through a power conditioner or strip.

The other place I've put my better PCs were between the power strip and the wall, so that the rest of my components all received the benefit of some sort of shared reduction in PC compromise.

Does that make any sense?
