Where to put one's best power cords??

, Where should one put their finest power cords? Mono amps, preamp, DAC or transport? Where will the best cords have the most impact? Thanks, Jeff

The obvious answer is where the influence of greater power stability will be most impactful but that also depends on how the power supplies themselves are designed. Unfortunately you probably have to try but as a rule closer to source (i.e. in the original question that would be the transport actually) as any problems created there cannot be corrected downstream

For example, when I put my finest power cord on my DAC or music server, it didn't sound as good as my other power cord that's made/designed for source gears.
