Wire vs. Vibration vs. Power Cond. is best?

Except for vibration isolation for a turntable, take all the money you might spend on that stuff and upgrade your speakers, electronics, or source for the biggest improvement.

Well I started with power cords, dedicated curcuits and power cords followed by vibration control. This may seem backwards to some but it was a budget issue. I can make more improvements for less money starting where I did.

I was meaning, not having any vibration control, and power conditioner, and cheap cables. I was just thinking in general with a typical hi-end system, were would money be best spent.
Maybe can't make generalizations but I was thinking maybe a power line conditioner before spending a similar $300-$1,000 in speaker cable /IC's.
Since speakers have a big influence on sound, maybe cones under the speakers would be most important if this would reduce speaker box resonances. I don't know, I'll be trying them all when I can.

Cdc,

Now I understand where you are coming from.

I would say the room treatment would give you the most improvement. For example, a pair of tube traps behind the speakers can usually improve the sound far beyond any component upgrade for the same price. You don’t even need to a/b compare the sound. You will know the improvement as soon as you put the tube traps in. It is that obvious.

The next on my list would be a power regenerator, not power conditioner. I pluged all my front ends to a PP-600. Again, the improvement is obvious, no a/b comparison required.

Some additional thoughts:

Nowadays, almost all high-end speakers come with code feet. And they are cheap. There is no reason not to use them.

In my experiences, unless your equipment is on top of card boxes, vibration control devices give less improvement than power regenerator.

If you have turntable, vibration control is everything.
