Hi, new to this thread but not new to HFC. I own a CT-1U from my wall to my MC-6 Hemisphere and then a CT-1UR Helix from my Hemisphere to my Chord DAVE DAC. I own 3 other CT-1 power cords for other ancillary gear including an SACD transport and microRendu music server and all components benefit but my Chord DAVE DAC is my most important digital component by far. I also own CT-1UR RCA interconnects and most recently, I upgraded to CT-1U speaker cables and I was especially impressed by how much difference the speaker cables made, maybe more difference than the other HFC gear I have. I'm not sure if this experience is shared by others.
I just pulled the trigger on a Pro series power cord although I'm not entirely sure what to expect given that the speaker cables so far has provided the biggest difference. Can anyone share how much improvement I might notice with the Pro series power cords over something like the CT-1UR Helix? Would it be best to use it to feed my Hemisphere so that everything that I have plugged into my Hemisphere benefits? Would this essentially give me the equivalent of a UR Helix power conditioner? Or should I use this Pro series power cord for my DAC and use my CT-UR Helix to feed my Hemisphere? Thanks in advance for your input.
