Puritan 136 vs 156 for simple system

I am looking at these two options for a fairly simple two channel system. My set up is:

Musical Fidelity A1

Gustard R26 DAC

Eversolo A6 Streamer

What I am wondering here is would it really be worth it to upgrade to the 156 over the 136?

Don't waste your money on the Puritan......The new ANSUZ MAINS 8 has Tesla Coils and is in a whole different league. I have one. . My system's musicality and Realism has taken a big jump forward( Very noticeable) since it entered my system. AGD is way ahead of the competition on many fronts (Borresen, Aavik, ANSUZ ) call Mike at Hi Fi Loft in NYC.

I have looked at the Ansuz Mainz8 but its a bit out of my price range from what I can see.

Then the Puritan 156 would work.....Call Mike and talk to him. Very knowledgeable.

I'll stay within that parameter.  I've the 156 and it is terrific.  Upgraded the power cord to Furutech 4.1 which made an uncanny improvement.  Not that you need go so extreme, but upgrading the stock cable will garner improvement.  Good luck.
