McIntosh Revel & JL

I'd appreciate recommendations for power and cabling infrastructure improvements.
McIntosh electronics consisting of MC402 amp, C2200 tube preamp, MCD500 SACD/Cd/Dac. Speakers are Revel Ultima Salon 2's.
I need power supply, power cable IC and speaker. I'm pretty sold on buying as much as possible from one manufacturer and within one model line.
For a power supply, I was thinking Running Springs Haley.
BTW, I currently have Kimber Hero IC's and 8TC speaker cable.

Forgot to add, since you have McIntosh, they have a line conditioner added to their line up. It`s called the MPC1500. Check it out.

I'm going to do the dedicated circuits and receptacles.
One circuit for the amp and preamp, one circuit for the digital.
Is the Sound Applications an improvement over the Running Springs?
Do you have the amp and preamp on the SA or just your source?

The Sound Applications was an improvement over the RSA`s but at more cost. My amps are plugged directly into the wall on their own 20 amp circuit.(I have 4 20 amp dedicated circuits for the audio. My video is separate) The SA has the sources and preamp plugged into it. The SA has it`s own 20 amp circuit.

Dedicated circuits first.
Power conditioning or speaker cable upgrade second?

Do the dedicated circuits first. Use your stock cords on your McIntosh equipment, amp. preamp, and the mighty 500, all stock. Plug your sources in the line conditioner MCP1500 ;) including the pre. Keep your Kimber Kable as is.
