What is the best order to upgrade a power cable loom? Thanks.

I'm about to upgrade my power cable loom from the out of the box, generic cables for two channel stereo.  I have been told the best order, or descending priority order, is first upgrade the power cord from the wall to the power distribution strip, then the pre-amp, then the integrated amp and last the turntable.   Please do you have any thoughts and/or experiences?  Specific thoughts and/or experiences with Nordost?  Thank you in advance! :-)

vinylfun,
I think your power cord upgrade order is fine. With the power conditioner you will upgrade the sound for most of your equipment, same thing kinda with the preamp.

So, as has been stated, larger gauge is probably better (generally) for the power conditioner and amps for they would draw the most power.

I am not a big fan of Nordost, mainly because their products seem to be overpriced IMHO.
