priorities-better cables or power conditioning?


Current system; denon 2900, BAT vk30 pre, MF A324 DAC, Odyssey stratos w/cap upgrade and Martin Logan Request for 2 channel. Yamaha rxv 2095/mitsubishi 64" HDTV, paradigm cc350 and monitors for HT. Bat pre p/thru for HT so Odyssey and MLs for front L/R in HT mode. Only conditioning is Monster hts 2000. Monster cables except MIT biwire on logans. All on same dedicated but not heavy duty AC line. Large,well damped room in basement-fully carpeted. Some stridency on higher volumes with music and HDTV via comcast not as sharp as should be, esp sports. Looking for input on best bang for buck-upgrading P/Cs,interconnects to Signal products, or BPT 2+ conditioner, or running separate 20 amp circuit for amp w/hubbell outlets. Audio is 1st priority.

It all depends on which conditioner and power cables you choose...and how bad your AC is to begin with..and how many components are part of the system.

It's a complicated equation.
1. The last 12 feet of AC to the component is the most important.
2. The more equipment you have, the more you need a conditioner that isolates each component from each other.
3. A dedicated line is always a big improvment.
