How important is powercord synergy?


I understand the importance of system synergy as it relates to interconnects and speaker cable. Is matching the PC to the system as important or is just "clean" power all we're trying to achieve. I'm in the process of slowly upgrading my system and have been holding off with buying new cables until I have all the new components. My PC is Monster Cable which runs through a cheap power strip / surge protector. I'd like to upgrade sooner rather than later. Any opinions?

In general I agree with Stehno’s theories. Once the power situation is cleaned up and proper, the power cord is of a lesser importance because it’s not needed to tune/color the component. Many Audiogon members don’t want to believe me when I tell them in my system I get the best bang for the buck by using Absolute Power Cords that have been correctly cryogenically treated. Although I do use other power cords, I’m looking to purchase used Absolutes at a good price; any of you have any you want to unload?

IMO, two major keys are clean power and room acoustics!
