Where to put your best power cable?

If you had power cables of varying quality that were large guage and the amplifier was plugged directly into the wall socket and components into the power distributor, would you put  the best one on the source, amplifier or the power distribution unit?

put it on the power distribution unit and buy cables that are OCC single Crystal copper which is the best wire for audio proven now for over 50 years.

I'm inclined to say power amp too but you need to try both ways.

Your results will vary depending on your components, the AC within your area, and your home wiring. I wish one answer would be correct but as you can see from the above comments results vary and you should experiment to see what works best in your situation.
