Power cables, I need help


I have finally got all the components that make very good music in my system! My last tweek is power cables & maybe a line conditioner. I have read here on audiogon where some use p/c's only on certain components and some suggest plugging them only into the wall outlet. I have also read sometimes a/c conditioners do more harm than good. I have mono block tube amps and a tube preamp. I would be willing to spend $1,000 - $2,000 new or used, what should I be looking for? & is there a component that works better with a power cord?

Thanks, Bob

Do you ever notice how many suggestions you get on different power cables that have performed to someone's like in their on system. The rule of the day is try before you buy. Might save yourself a buck or two. Power cords are somewhat of a mystery, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
Your components power supplies have a lot to do with how and if a power cable will work. The problem is, nobody can decide on any group of cables and wether they need to be shielded or not and on and on and on.
On the Bryston sight, their opinion is a power cable is a waste of money and others hold this thought. I have actually heard a cable or two make a difference. I never could decide if it was better or not. Just different.
