Should All Power Cables be Alike?


It has entered my limited consciousness that there lies the need to change ALL power cords if you change one; but I don't know the answer. For example, would upgrading only the AC power cord to a power conditioner or generator be limited improvement if the components feeding into the power unit weren't also upgraded? Another words, if changing only the primary AC cable (i.e., the one from the AC wall plug) is one sub-optimizing improvement without also changing the AC cord from all the components in the system?

IMHO, the first power cable that should be upgraded is the one from the breaker box to the outlet at the system and upgrade the outlet as well.

The wall outlet as well? Okay ... but I also use a PS Audio 10. So, should the power cables from my components also be changed (i.e., as well as the primary AC cable from the wall outlet)? Which AC outlet manufacturer do you recommend?
Unfortunately it all makes a difference and there's no telling how much of one it will make until you try. Welcome to the rabbit hole!

Hospital grade Hubbell outlets with non ferrous grounding straps are inexpensive, solid and sound decent..
