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

Right cable for the right component.  You don’t want too heavy a cable for your source, just like you don’t want too light of a cable for your conditioner or your power amps.  
 

Thus, “best” needs to be viewed in context of HC vs Source.  I would put your best HC cable on your conditioner.  I would experiment with source cables on your preamp, DAC and transport.  It will come down to which one had the most sensitive power supply.  

The power conditioner has my best power cord and it covers all source components.  Next are the power cords on my amplifiers.  Think about it, the power from the wall is powering your speakers.  If you have any investment in speaker cables then you should have the equivalent investment in power cables going into the amp(s).
