Power cords or power conditioner

Agree with @audphile1 .  In my case, just for fun I tried substituting my very expensive Audioquest Dragon cord feeding my Torus RM20 with the stock Torus power cord.  The Torus in turn powers my entire system.

My initial impression was, it sounds much different, and actually not bad at all!  There was an immediacy and crispness that became more apparent with the stock cord.  But, the major difference was that the soundstage was all on one level, with less dimensionality to vocals and instruments, less air, and less of a holographic presentation.  

As stated your results may vary.  Of note, Torus told me they thought the cord from the Torus to your components matters more than the cord from the wall to the Torus, but as always, they said listen to your own ears.  Great advice.

@audphile1 That is what I intend to do.  It's like Audio Science Review, if the site owner can't measure it, then it doesn't matter.  Problem with that theory is most of the stuff that guy suggests as great due to measurements, sounds like garbage.  

Pulling my speakers out into my room has helped to broaden my soundstage and create more air around individual instruments.  The problem is, this isn't a dedicated music room.  I could pull the speakers out another foot, but it would ruin the function of the room.  

I'll soon find out how the other things improve or don't improve things.   

Thanks for all the advise and suggestions! 

FACT!

Lol…. I do get a kick out of the audiosciencereview channel.  I find it amusing and utterly useless.  I do agree with Amir’s take on the importance of blind testing though.  Everyone is subject to confirmation bias, to varying degrees.  But nobody today can simply measure what gear will sound good or bad.  And given the small niche of our hobby I have a hunch that developing formulas to calculate performance of audiophile-grade equipment is not really considered a burning problem for humanity to tackle.  I think it’s one notch down from finding the cure for sleep.
