Power Cable Suggestions - Budget

I've read many times about the difference a power cable upgrade can make. I looked at some of the power cables that came with my amp, preamp, CDP, etc. and they do seem very cheap so thinking about buying some cables. I have Bryston pre and amp. Was thinking of maybe the 14 gauge Pangea or similar then I realized I am plugging into a power strip whose cable is likely junk and will need an upgrade here too (maybe 6 outlets). So in summary, I need a couple cables and a power strip that might result in the improvement that some of you claim. Thinking of keeping it in the 3-400 dollar range for all.

@mesch , The pre is a Bryston SP1.7 (processor). I have only one wall outlet with one socket available. I need a power strip of some sort before I start with PC's.

This is the power strip I use in my Naim system. Sequentially wired, no lights or fuses, non current limiting, no on/off switches. All of the outlets share one ground eliminating any ground loops and noise. Deep-Cryo treated too.

In that case you could try plugging the amp into one outlet and a power strip into the other. Get a power strip with IEC input so you could use power cord of your preference.
