- 1. I find that each power cord in the chain affects the sound - sometimes, significantly. In my rig, I’ve got three different brand power conditioners operating off three different circuits. Over the years, I’ve swapped many cables in different positions - yielding varying results. There’s a higher probability that using the same brand & model cable from the wall to the conditioner as from the conditioner to the component will most likely keep the sonics similar.
Most source components benefit from a power conditioner. Not all amps do. Frequently, the dynamics suffer. It depends on the design of the conditioner.
