Where will my powercables be used best ?

Hi,

If I were to power all of my system with high quality power cables, I would need minimum 5 pcs. I only have 3 right now, so were will I get the most from them ?
My system consists of a cd/ sacd, a preamp, two monoblocks and a power re-generator. The analouge rig is not included in this question!
The cables I have now are. 1 x Nordost Vishnu + 2 x Nordost El Dorado. In time I will upgrade the Supra cables I have for the rest of the system as well, but the financial criscis have also hit Denmark were I Live !

Try them on each piece of equipment and see if you hear a improvement over the stock cord. When you don't, see if you can get your money back.

Move them around but I'd bet that your 'best' cord will offer the most all around improvement when placed on the regenerator.

I agree with Bander's advice. I've tried the Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, and Valhalla and would recommend them as your budget allows. The Brahma may provide the best value in the Nordost lineup.

As a general rule I think your better power cords would have the most benefit on the "front end" of the system - the power regenerator, the cd/sacd source and the preamp.

I'm not so sure putting the best power cord on a power regenerator makes sense. The regenerator I have...PSA Power Plant Premier takes in the dirty AC, drops the voltage down to a minimal amount, massages it and then re-amplifies the AC to 120/60. Based on that, why would you need a high end power cord to pass in junk AC ? To me, the regnerator just needs a heavy guage cord, say 10 guage at a minimum and not too expensive.
