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

.....I first added one of these power cords to my amp and yes there was a noticeable positive sonic difference. I just added a second one to my pre-amp and that too made a positive sonic difference, however, not as much as when I added one to the amp. So, my question is, is there a diminishing return when you add more of these very expensive power cords to your system ???? I still have a dac and transport and was wondering whether it would be sonically worth it to get two more and round out the whole system with them ??? I would appreciate answers from Audiogon members who own and have these cables in their system. Thanks ..........

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.

System dependent in my experience.
Generally speaking I favor sticking with one brand/model on every component. Though with Purist Audio Design, you can sometimes get the absolute best performance by using different models within the Purist Line. As a for instance, you may want Venustas on speaker cables feeding low sensitivity speakers as they are a heavy gage and will allow lots of current without issue. The Corvus line is quite neutral and one may use it as an interconnect between source, Pre and amplifier along with Venustas for speakers and find phenomenal results.
