Wondering if I change stock power cables and get power plant cleaner, how much could improve the sonics, certainly I am a novice in the hobby, and always reluctant to spend money in power cables and so on, in fact always used stock pieces,
really appreciate your help.

There's many different ways you can upgrade your system. A couple of people mentioned going with new power cords. I agree that they do make a difference. The one thing I would recommend, though, is to try the cables in your system before you buy them. In many cases, power cords don't make a positive difference. If you don't have a good local dealer that you can use, I would definitely call The Cable Company. They can send you a bunch of different cables that you can demo first. I have been using them for years and have been very happy with the results.

One other thing you may want to consider is upgrading your phono cartridge. I had the 10x5 and thought it was a great sounding product for the money. If you step up to the Dynavector 20x2. I did and think it was well worth the money. If your phono pre can handle it, I would get the low output version.
