power cables where do I start?

I want to see what a power cable(s) can do for my modest system.

I just dont know where to start as a brand or component.

Suggestions please.

Will look for used. Will be budget minded. 

Current system:
Rouge 99 preamp
Odyssey Stratos mono amps
Vandersteen 2ce with vander subs
Rega cd and Rega Dac
Rega RP1
Hero interconnects

To the original question, I would start with ...:
1) DAC
2) Pre-Amp
3) Amp
4) Transport or CD Player 
5) Turntable and/or Turntable Pre-Amp  
6) Power re-generator or conditioner  ( Yeah did that one also ) 

..and I agree with gdnrbob and went with ZU Mission cables.

+1 on the Signal Cable Magic PC's being an decent, inexpensive upgrade from stock and being a reputable dealer. I've owned them for years and am just now looking to upgrade from there, starting with the dac.

+1 on the post from lak also.

I purchased a used Kimber PK 10....I was going to put it on my preamp as my dac is not used extensively....

Will go to dac after this experiment.

I forgot to mention PS Audio. They also have some older models that aren't cost prohibitive, though they are quite bulky.
