Paul, power conditioning is a difficult animal to explain, and one which must be experienced, IMO. But for me, it made a tangible difference in the resolution of my equipment. Why? Because whether we identify it or not, we all have grunge and hash in our systems, which is difficult to "hear" until it's gone. When it's gone, the system has the "blackness" folks speak of, and a quietness that makes the music more real. The hash that power conditioning cleans up results in better resolution of micro details because there's less noise to compete with the aural cues of things like wire brushes on a coated drum head. With the noise gone, one can hear this distinctly, instead of it sounding a little mushy. With the system hash gone, the benefits of cabling changes become easier to hear, IMO.
So, I suppose I'd suggest power conditioning before you start swapping wire.
I use a simple system of two dedicated lines, two Hydra 2 power conditioners, and two good 20a power cords to feed the Hydras.
