Upgraded power cables- Who's on First?

Bugatti for $1.7 mil ...... It all depends as to what's your flavor $ / $$ / $$$ / $$$$ ???? You could go after the ones that are $10k a meter and need two meters for each component. With that kind of cash you might consider new components to match your cords! :))

what a henhouse. Anyway, my recommendation is to put one cord to the AMP from the wall. The second cord from the conditioner to your preamp. PERIOD. I don't friggin care what stupid brand your stuff is. This is the Bigger (ish if it matters) cord to amp from wall, better cord from conditioner to preamp is it. It is the correct answer.
This is what I would do in your shoes as a start.
I have a bunch of cords, a bunch of conditioners, all mid priced. I have moved them around and around and around until I am nearly in permanent vertigo.. and STILL say WALL TO AMP # 1. then PRE TO CONDITIONER #2. simple. not complicated.
And to PROVE I am the one who "KNOWS" I just put new speaker cables on my new $20,000. system... Yes, you may have read another post wherein I crow about my $2.50 home made eBay mil spec teflon 12 guage silver plated speaker cables. nya nya yours may be? better, but then they cost five hundred times more.

I think I will take your advice and try that arrangement first. The Signal Magic from the Porter Wall receptacle to the power conditioner, then the big ass Virtual dynamics cord from the preamp to the conditioner.

I still will need another pc to the cdp but am low on funds. How about a Goner steppin up and sending me one of their spares? Elizabeth>?

Get a Pangea 14 guage from Audio Advisor, they are like $30 one meter and are worth a lot more.

Update: Cable ordered. AA said it would take 1oo hrs to burn in. Should I hook it up to the freezer?
