Probably the best answer would be try for yourself and see what YOU think.I love it when the only two responses have opposite opinions; it’s so helpful.
I didn't ask the question and don't need an answer. FWIW, I have done as you suggest and will continue to do so as I acquire new cables.Probably the best answer would be try for yourself and see what YOU think.
I don´t know where you did get your information from but i tested severeal cables (shielded, unshielded, solid-core, stranded, expensive, budget, diy, different gauges) from outlet to the PS Audio P10 and the differences were marginal but when i did the same thing from P10 to Preamp/DAC the differences were explicitIf you use a power conditioner, you should use the best power cord which you have from the wall outlet to it. Then you also should use other good cables from it to components.
Priority for the quality of power cords:
1. From the wall outlet to power conditioner;
2. To amplifier or pre-amplifier;
3. To the power amplifier;
4. To the analog source;
5. To the digital source.
Maybe you use PS Audio P10. It converts AC-DC, then DC-AC. So I think you are right in your system. But if you use other power centers or power conditioners, you will understand me.I don´t know where you did get your information from but i tested severeal cables (shielded, unshielded, solid-core, stranded, expensive, budget, diy, different gauges) from outlet to the PS Audio P10 and the differences were marginal but when i did the same thing from P10 to Preamp/DAC the differences were explicit
Sure this is correct, i was talking about active regenerators not passive conditioners like DC FilterMaybe you use PS Audio P10. It converts AC-DC, then DC-AC. So I think you are right in your system. But if you use other power centers or power conditioners, you will understand me.
I use Echole Power Center and I can speak that from experience.
