About synergy?

Since this question is related to synergy I thought might as well open an older thread instead of creating a new one. Will you get synergy using two of the same premier power cords plugged into a dedicated line when lesser cords are used on source equipment? One cord is plugged into an amp, the other to a non filtering power strip.

I'll go out on a limb and say that any real improvement to quality of power should always result in positive improvements in sound quality, so it is one tweak that is more about optimizing performance in general and less about synergy. If an improvement in quality of power produces negative results, then I would look elsewhere for another aspect of the system that is not up to snuff perhaps. Synergy may come more back into play at that point.

I would suggest synergy is the most important component in an audio system. A cheap, but well tweaked, system can sound better than a mega-bucks system whose components don't "play nice" together.

Second, IME, compensating for a problem in one component with another component gives disappointing results. Better to get each component as close to what you want to begin with.
