Prioritizing Power Cable Upgrades by System Component.


I'm digging into the world of power cables and it is kind of amazing. The promise that a good cable can bring along with its price is both exciting and staggering.

There are several components that need some kind of power cable and upgrading them, for me, needs to be done in steps.

For those that have upgraded power cables, how would you prioritize between the pre-amp (tube), power amp (ss) and powered sub...and possibly even the DAC?

I auditioned upgraded cables tehy were Shunyata Venom NR….  The impact was improved dynamics and details. And one of the sonic effects was the improved detail and control of lower frequencies - I think the cables reduced noise entering the compound thus creating a lower noise floor.
 

I started with source and there was a similar impact on my amps. I bought all at the same time. 

 

If you can audition- I’d be curious on your experience…enjoy the process.

"amplifier first if amp is plugged into wall. Then power conditioner for source components with the second power cord upgrade."

audphil1...could’nt agree more after installing new "diy" cable for power conditioner.Have just cd plugged into...amp into wall.Man was an interesting listening night last night🔌🚀

Just keeps getting better...not only power conditioner,but what it does for cd player and its cable.That whole chain is upped the ante.
