Power Cables and Power Conditioner

I bought my first PS Audio (PSA) outlet as well as a PSA power cable.  I had intended to use the power cable to go from the new wall outlet to the conditioner but when I got home I realized the Furman ELITE-15 DMi has a fixed power cable.  I thought dang it and was going to return the PSA cable but then decided to give it a try.  So I ran the PSA cable from the Furman to my Rogue Audio Preamp.  I swear I think there was a moderate improvement to the overall image.  But of course this could be placebo and I have not done a bunch of with/without listening but am happy so far.


I assume the Furman filter is doing its job and adding the PSA power cord to the Pre is preserving this current as best it can. I would like to add another cord for the DAC and the power amp. But thought I would float this probe to see what other people do in similar situations as this.

When I moved from a home with crappy power to one with good power, my PS Audio regenerator displayed steady voltage and low distortion. I ditched the regenerator and could not be happier.

If your power is clean as you have mentioned (measured?), then how about power outages, lightning, etc.? If all is good, then I would minimize what to throw at your system, but a dedicated circuit(s) is always good for other internal issues. If your power turns out to be crappy, create an "overall" plan of attack based on the circumstances. However, if you live in an apartment, for example, so you can't do much about it, then a fine conditioner may be a good solution.
