Cables /power conditioner- Order of importance

If you want to upgrade many components simultaneously then consider the very top of the line Mapleshade Records power strip that does an amazing job of conditioning without resembling a traditional conditioner. It can make it seem that all your power cords have been upgraded. Just be sure that the distance between AC sockets on this or any conditioner allows room for fitting into adjacent AC sockets the physically bulky "hospital grade" plugs that may be on the ends of your power cords.
If you only need two pairs of IC's for use, first from CDP to preamp, and second from preamp to amp, then consider the lowest cost impressive IC's from Auricle Audio Design which come up for auction periodically. In a few systems, these have performed astonishingly better than their price would suggest. A truly unique handmade product from a one man shop that consistently gets overlooked in our busy Audiogon marketplace.
If you can move just a little further up the cost ladder, Reality Cables speaker wire will amaze you, once the optimized signal reaches your amplifier speaker terminals. Their IC's also compete at the highest level, still at very modest cost.
First step might be to "upgrade" all your components with the power conditioning, and then to reveal any newfound quality by insertion of quality IC's. Finally, getting it to your speakers. There is no absolute rule about which to do first, just a suggested sequence.

Like most, I have upgraded all of the above on your list in some cases several times. For my system, I ended up elliminating the power conditioner in the chain and gone with two dedicated lines. Of greatest importance IMHO are your interconnects, then it is a toss up between speaker wire and power cord depending on what your equipment is and the quality of their power supplies and your stock power cords.

Since I have just recently "discovered" power conditioners and the benefits in my own system, I would like to chime-in here as an interested neophyte. Audioblazer is asking about upgrading? Does he already have a conditioner in the system, or is this a hypothetical system? if so, for pretending purposes only, can we assume an all-Monster Cable system including the power conditioner?.....if so I would suggest replacing the Monster Cable IC and speaker cables first. But my real question is, what is a next logical step up in the conditioner world and is the purportedly over-priced Monster conditioner (any model) a valid starting point?

Hi Programeergeek, I m using an Exact Power Conditioner. B4 that I was using monster avs stabilizer. I found that Exact Conditioner is much better. Beside that I have a Transparent PIXL connected to the power source of my gyro se turntable. my power cord are fr Transparent reference. Have a Transparent reference interconnect between my integrated amplifier Unison research SET S8. speaker cable is fr Transparence reference as well. currently my CDP is Unison research Unico CD(tube) which I m not using now. I preferred the warm sound of tube. Will be changing speaker to VR4sr. Intend to replace my turntable to VPI HRX or Kuzma Reference. Spent a lot on cables/conditioners. Question : need to buy addtional power cord and interconnect for my CDP. Was also considering Transparent PI4 to connect to my amplifier and CDP power cord Eventually will probably upgrade my integrated amplifier to separate amplifiers. If I have limited budget which component is more imp? TQ. Happy listening
