power cables' effect on power conditioner?

After auditioning different power cables over the years I have settled on the ones I  now have in in my system. I do not have a power conditioner, but am considering one. Will the power cable used from the wall outlet to the conditioner change the sonic characteristics of my system? Or is it recommended to use the same cable from the outlet to the conditioner as the cables from the conditioner to each component?

@emailists , I'm not an electrician or an EE. I think the issue with a steel shield or steel conduit is that it should never
touch the ground wire of the dedicated line or become grounded to the destination. eg, the circuit panel ground buss or a steel receptacle box.

If you are not consulting with an electrician, you could start a new thread about your dedicated line. Many  experts on the forum will respond.

This is from the company who makes Romex. Typically used in a commercial installation.
You could post your question about the best way to run your line and also ask about VH audio Cryo treated Romex.

@lak .  Thanks. I too find Equitech 2Q excellent and so it seems do all owners. They very rarely come for sale used. Very rarely; on any site.
