Cable differences -- power, interconnect, digital, and in what order?

@kennyc Thanks for your list. Because I have an Audience conditioner in the wall protecting my gear -- and it plugs in directly -- I have not yet been able to do an experiment with power cables at the wall. In my new room (which is done but I have not moved in there yet) I will try it. I will also try @audphile1 suggestion to plug in directly to my dedicated outlets.

I spent most of my time and money on the interconnects so far. That was largely because I did not really have good ones and I needed to get some. Also, I don't know how bad (or good) my power is, so I figured I would try improving the signal path first.

For more powerful amps, some suggest direct connection to the wall vs through a power conditioner. Not sure it matters with lower power amps.

A couple years ago, audio bacon did PC shootout:

From this shootout, I purchased used the Kimber Palladium PK10/PK12 power cables.

If you want to build your own which I may someday, I follow this on eBay:
