Power cables best home?

Always work the chain from the front end down, transport/dac or cd player first, preamp second, and amp last. This goes for upgrading cables or installing isolation devices as well...i.e.(cones,shelves,platforms) follow the signal, source to the output. Good luck!

When I want to hear the sonic signature of a specific AC cable, I change all my AC cords back to stock & then install the "test" cable on my preamp. Bob Cohen at Fatwyre.com (Cable Co) advised my to try that approach long ago & it seems to work very well. So after the preamp is 'tuned' appropriately then go the the source component (one box CD player, or DAC, or the phono stage for an analog rig) & tune that component with the AC cord of your liking. Tune the power amp last, because if you do that piece first instead then all of your tuning work on the front end will also be affected

Do it on a Sunday when you have lots of time. Try the digital end first (DVD/CD, processor), then try your old power cords. Then do the same for you amp. I believe you'll notice a bigger difference on the digital end. Knowing us tweakers, you'll probably end up buying more powercords so all the equipment can have them.
