I think expenditure on power cables should be relative to your equipment. I don’t subscribe to the view some audiophiles hold that cables should be elevated to the status of components (with commensurate expenditure). Connecting cables of equal or greater cost than the connected component is stupid IMHO.
I own Vitus Signature series gear & use Jorma Prime pc’s ($4900US) re-terminated with cryo’d Oyaide M1/F1 connectors. The Prime pc has wonderful tone, timbre and texture, plenty of detail and sounds natural and sophisticated overall. Fred Crowder at Dagogo found the Prime pc works superbly with front end and preamp components, somewhat less successfully with high current amplifiers. Thus I may upgrade my pc’s in the critical positions of wall-conditioner & conditioner-power amp to Siltech Ruby Double Crown pc’s at some point in the future which have notably good bass. They are probably the best pc’s in the world.
I find all components in a system equal importance. If PC happens to be the most expensive but ROI is justified, it's ok with me.
