Upgrading power cables

Recently auditioned some power cables in an A-B test and became a believer in the benefits of a quality power cable. Since the test was only done with an amp. I wonder if it is necessary to upgrade the power cables of all my components (solid state amp, tube preamp, SACD player). If so, should all components have the same model of power cable? What should be the first component to upgrade?

Thanks for the help.

You usually match a power cord to particulat component so they don't have to or should not be the same or even the same brand. That said, if you want top of the line they might turn out to be the same, maybe.
It varies which component will be more sensitive to the upgrade, it is hard to advise. In your case I would probably first upgrade your tube preamp cord, then the source and the amp the last.
