I am firmly in the camp that upgraded power cords, whether DIY or store bought name brand and upgrades to the power delivery are crucial if not mandatory today.
Wallplugging your gear , or going straight into the wall which was the norm back when I started in the 1970's,for me, isn't the way to get the most bang for your audio buck.
And neither is a stock fuse.
So, if you are in the camp that can hear the differences that power cords and power line upgrades can do for your system then you owe it to yourself to go the next step and purge your gear from one of the last bottlenecks to good sound.
That they cost so little, is a novelty in this day, when you hear what they can do.
Those upgraded power cords are still at the mercy of the stock fuse.
Replace the fuse and finally hear all the improvements that the power cords and conditioners can deliver.
It's really that simple and cheaper than the countless amp,speaker trials and errors audiophiles submit themselves to.
It's all in the little details, add them up and you start to see the big picture.
