Question on the Purist Audio Limited Edition P/C's

What power cords are you "upgrading" from? And why did you decide to start at the amp and then next to the preamp? My experience with power cords is that the digital components and phono/line stages react far more to power cords than do amps.

The logical thing to do would be to try a single new cord in the system, at each of the 4 places and leave the other 3 original in the system. You do not need to live with this change for days or weeks. The change should be noticeable instantly. Following this experiment 4 times, you will have an idea as to what components in the system react the most to the cord change. Then you can decide what is the additive benefit of 2 or 3 or 4 of these new cords.

Thank you for your responses....my entire system is Purist Audio 20th Anniversary cables. So, the cables I am '' repalcing '' are PAD's 20 Anniversary's.....I have always started with the pieces that have the bigger(est) power supplies with any changes in power cords. I was hoping to hear from members who have or who are using this paricular power cords in their system.

Hi garebear,

Until recently I was using 2 of the Purist LE power cords - one on my preamp and one on my phono stage. I also used mainly Purist Audio Anniversary cabling (power cords and IC's) except on my amps and for speaker cables. I have tried both the regular Purist Anniversary PC and the Purist LE power cords on my amps but I never really liked how they sounded on my amps. If you like what what you hear with the Purist LE cord on your amp and preamp and if you need the power line filtering that the LE provides that it would make sense to put LE's on your transport and Dac. If you don't need the filtering - then I would just go with the regular Purist Anniversary PC - tonally I found these to be very much the same.

I use it to GREAT success on my amp but find it can "hide" information on some source components, although it does give a very black background.
