power cord replacement...source or amp first?


is there a general rule of thumb as to where an aftermarket will make the biggest sonic difference? i have one (ps audio) that i have been using with my simaudio i-5 integrated, but i just moved it to my arcam cd player. i have another one (signal magicpower) on order, but wonder if there's a general rule of thumb as to priority when replacing power cords. source or amp first? thanks.

Agree w/ Mikesinger. My best power cord (AudioPrism Super Natural 9.5) feeds my transport. When I get a second one it will feed my phonostage. That power cord let me know my phonostage was limiting the modded 1200's speed. Amazing, isn't it?

Transfer points are crucial and shouldn't be overlooked. The stock IEC terminal in my transport has been replaced by a Furutech Rhodium plated IEC.
