need advice with power cable

I have been changing my Straightwire Symphony cables to Morrow audio cables, just got the Morrow MAP3 power cable for my receiver (Arcam avr400).
My question is, I have a Panamax M5100 conditioner should I plug in the power cord from receiver to the Panamax or the wall? Seems some prefer not to use conditioners.
BTW the Morrow cables made a huge and awesome differences in my sound.
thanks for any input

When I bought a Pangea AC9SE (replacing an AC9) I decided to stick in on my conditioner to break it in, not expecting aany improvement, I was pleasantly suprised taht on the Furman REF20i conditioner the Pangea AC9SE made a significant improvement.
So I left it tere and bought another for the amp.
After fooling around checcking how they SOUND in different locations, I realized the new Pangea sounded best on the condiitioner, and my preamp.
This was BY LISTENING.
the only way anyone can find out WHERE to put a cable is the LISTEN to the system with in in different places and DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.
Asking others is a waste of time. (though as a place to start it may be of use)

sonicmistro. usually when a person says 20amp, the plugs are also different (on a cord). So I would say you can use a larger gauge cord, no problem, as long as it has the same sort of plug design you equipment has on it already. (20amp plugs are a different design, so they do not fit 15amp slots)     
For AC cords going heavier gauge wire is not a problem. And better plugs at both ends can usually help the sound It may (or may not) sound different.
