Do I need higher quality power cords?


  • I have an expensive Isotek Orion Power line Conditioner connected with an Isotek Elite Power cord. It has plug-ins for five power cords. Considering this, would I further benefit from higher quality power cords for my components other than the stock ones that came with them?

An article I read claimed that the most important power cord replacement is with the source, not the amps. What is your opinion on this?
I ordered bottom of the line on sale Morrow power cables for my mono blocks.  Pretty expensive for bottom of the line.  Should be better than the stock cables though.
 I’ll see (or hear) how they turn out. 
rrochelle,

I cancelled the Morrow and ordered 3 copper copper PC’s from Ice Age:  2 for the mono blocks and 1 for the transport or DAC.
I’ve installed the Ice Age power cords.
How much time should I allow for break-in?
