Prioritization of Power Cords

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out where to prioritize my power cords. Here is my setup: 

  • Audioquest Niagara 1000 Conditioner (currently connected to the wall with a Pangea AC9SE Mk II 7 gauge PC)
  • Line Magnetic 805ia Integrated Tube Amp (currently connected to the Niagara with an Acoustic Zen Tsunami III 11 gauge PC)
  • PS Audio Directstream Junior (currently connected to the Niagara with a SignalCable MagicPower Digital Reference 12 gauge PC)

If I were to get a Audioquest Thunder or an Acoustic Zen Gargantua II PC, where would you put this cord in this setup?

Thanks!

John Rutan(audioconnection) believes you should put the best power cord on the source.
For me it is my Ayre DAC. And, I got the AQ Thunder from Johnny, and I have to say it made a positive change.
I also put some on my Ayre monoblocks, and though I have heard Ayre equipment isn't affected by power cord changes, I did notice a significant change in sound.
