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.
