Hi Chuck
Here is my $.02. I think the weak link could also be the HD Power Cord and the Monster HTS1000. I remember from another thread a fellow A'gon member had good results using Volex 17604 power cord mated with a Audioquest IEC 3US Power Cord Adaptor. That would take the place of that HD Rigid Power Cord. I wasn't able to find a Volex 17604 power cord in 25ft length though but I only did a cursory search. You may find something better.
To replace that Monster HTS 1000 PC I would opt for a APC S10 UPS Power Conditioner. It has pure Sine Wave output with battery backup, which is a TRUE power conditioner instead of filtering in most simple ones. It provides 700W continuous power and 1500W transient power so you should be set.
Now I think in another thread you asked about having uniform Power cords all around. I think one of the Virtual Dynamics people had a channel on Youtube and he advocated putting your best power cord on your front end electronics (CD Players, Record Player if applicable). I saw put whichever PC you deem the best on your front end electronics and then spread out the rest. If the stock power cords bother you just round out the rest with Pangea, Signal Cable, MAC etc etc.
Anyway I hope this helps, good luck with your hunt and enjoy your new gear.
