Tvad has a sensible view on this subject.
However to realize the full measure with some of these devices, which ever unit you choose, it's best to use the same brand of ac cords through out.
Including, if at all possible, interconnects ,speaker wire and phono cable.
And no it's not industry sales propaganda.
Roy Gregory of Hi-Fi Plus magazine been harping on this subject for years.
I took him up on his advice a few years back and built an entire cable scheme around the Nordost Thor, not including the amplifiers.
If your system is totally on the grid, take sometime and borrow all you can to try.
All you have to do is listen.
On a different note....
Dfhaleycko above, dreams of using a battery powered component in his system, amplifier, preamplifier and or phono stage.
I including others that use battery operated preamplifier's and phono stages would never return to ac driven again, especially with these two components
However ,not all are created equal, do your home work.
