Consistency with power cords?


Is it better to have the same power cord throughout the system or doesn't it really matter assuming you have a quality cord for each component?

If they are not the same, then assuming you have a power conditioner with an IEC, the best one should go between it and the wall outlet. The power amp is second IMO. I do not wish to spend the money to get a great cord for each component, so I got one great one for the wall/conditioner and lesser (but still good) cords for the rest of the system. The reason I think the best cord should go there is because that is the one place that will affect the character of the whole system.
We have been recommending powercords for 10 years at the time when many people were under the misconception that they made no difference to ones overall system. We have experimental a great deal with powercords and sell more powercords than anything else at A Sanctuary of Sound. In the process we have actually found that mixing different brands of powercords works best. In the Store all three sound rooms have a mix of powercords and needless to say we tweek our systems to sound the best possible.
The advice you have already received that the best cord should go to the line conditioner is absolutely correct since it all starts at the wall. The next best should go to your transport or one box player.
Good luck you will find that powercords will redefine your system!
Thanks for your advice and taking the time to address my question! I'll check into upgrading the cord to my AC conditioner first and go from there.
