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.

In fact it cost less than one Purist Audio Dominus power cord! But no Ferox. Well, you can never have everything.
hi elizabeth:

are you saying that a dedicated line will produce "better" sound than a line which has multiple sources plugged into it ??

thus , you would be saying that i would get better sound if i plugged my amp into a dedicated line than i would if i plugged my amp into a line that , say, had several lamps, or at least someother appliance sharing the line with the amp.

i may have misunderstood your statement, but if i accurately represented your connotation, wouldn't one's preference be idiosyncratic and thus unpredicrable.

since a stereo system has multiple "colorations", a dedicated line would not necessarily be preferred.
I don't understand the last two posts but the short answer is yes, dedicated lines are preferred to plugging into an outlet that shares with multiple other items.

Every outlet, switch and additional run of the electrical is a break in the line. Most people have builder grade electrical outlets and many have marginal wire gauge.

Running a single (10 gauge Romex) copper line direct to your stereo system will pretty much always benefit a good quality system.

On my system it was absolutely huge, I heard the before and after and so did the twenty or more people that visit me regularly.

There are dozens of posts on this topic at Audiogon and many, many Audiogon members that report benefit with all brands of equipment.
