weak link/improvement to my system: advice

Hi,

I love Audiogon forums where I have received a lot of great advice so thanks in advance.

My hope was to get insight as to what you might think would be weak links or improvements to my system. (If someone dislikes a particular brand I don't think it is helpful however to say yuck krell sucks or wilson is overpriced). I thought perhaps the speaker cable but then read an article by the founder of McIntosh who lambasted the need to get a reall expensive speaker cable like Vahalla. Ok enough with the caveats.

I have the following:

1. WILSON WATT PUPPY 7 SPEAKERS
2. KRELL 400CX
3. BAT (Balanced Audio Technology) 51SE Tube Preamp
4. Cary 306-200 cd player
5. Cardas Golden Reference cable XLR between Preamp/Amp
6. Nordost Quattro Fil cable XLR between Preamp/CD
7. Nordost Red Dawn Speaker Cable

Sounds like a great system. Have you tried power cables?
I was skeptical at first. However, after I purchased my first PS Audio lab cable, I was blown away by the changes.
I can honestly say that power cable makes a greater difference than changing speaker cable or interconnect.
I went from Monster Cable rca ic to Audioquest Python XLR
between amp and pre and differences were not nearly as dramatic as changing from stock pc to PS Audio Lab on my Audio Research VT100 II.

I would not change any electronics until I tried power cables.
