Will a good power cable replace the need for a PC?


I've heard mixed opinions on the use of a power conditioner. My question is, does the use of a high end power cable replace the need for a power conditioner? A local high-end retailer claims that the power cables he uses can run directly to a wall socket, and that a power conditioner can actually create more problems than it solves. I'm currently in the process of upgrading my cables and wondering what the best solution is.

You will get multiple replies, many will be opposite opinions.

I won't say a power cord will solve the same things that conditioning addresses, but so far I have not heard a power conditioner I liked.

All conditioners I've tried harmed the sound in some way. A couple were very expensive (seven to ten thousand dollars) and hurt dynamics, detail and even compressed the sound stage.

Then again you might hear from a music lover that lives in a high rise and has 100 other people beating on the same electrical service he's tied to and his test concluded that (brand here) conditioner was much preferred.

If you live in a single family home, chances are dedicated lines should be your first line of defense against bad AC.

After that improvement, maybe explore some high end power cables assuming all your equipment is pretty much where you want it.

There are a lots of AC cords on the market and many of them are an audible improvement over stock. That being said, conclusions as to which provide what are dependant on equipment and personal preferences.
Thanks for the reply. I do live in a single family house. What do you mean by "dedicated lines" exactly?

Also, My system unfortunately requires quite a few AC connections. Electrostat speakers don't help the matter. I've sort of decided that I dont really like the component power conditioner I'm using right now because 1. It reduces audio and picture quality 2. requires that all of my devices are connected to one spot 3. doesn't have enough connections for all of my stuff.

Whats the point of a PC anyways if your end result is worse than without it? Ins't the goal to give you BETTER end results?
