I was in this position and I experienced an improvement. I have a pair of 15 amp circuits that have Hubble duplex outlets. All my equipment uses upgraded 15 amp power cords. I installed a Richard Gray power conditioner that came with a very beefy factory cord. After it was up and running I purchased a 15/20 amp Pangea adapter and tried some of my other power cords and noticed a slight improvement. I then tried a Shunyata Venom HC power cable with very noticeable results. The Shunyata cable does not require the adapter. I could tell a greater difference changing that one cable than swapping cables from the conditioner to my component’s. Cheers , Mike B.
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks
And I realize that there are those that don’t believe in either
Assuming you use a power conditioner and after market power cords, do you feel that the power cord from the power conditioner to the wall might be a limiting or even a negating factor to the performance of the after market power cords that run from the power conditioner to the gear?
The reason I ask is that I was about to embark upon some more experimentation with different power cords and where I plugged them into when I discovered that the aftermarket cords I had purchased before and some recent arrivals are actually a meter shorter than the ones that came with the gear. This doesn’t matter for the amp due to its location, but when I did my last power cord upgrade I ran my CDP and pre into a conditioner so the length for those didn’t matter either, but as I was doing the musical chairs with power cords thing today, I also was intending to run the CDP and pre straight into the wall on separate dedicated circuits, but I found out that I am a tad short on those two.
Which doesn’t preclude me from moving my dedicated circuit outlets up a couple of feet, and I suppose I probably will, but I was curious as to the opinions about the limitations of a power conditioners power cord.
