Do I need upgraded power cables?

@acman3 Not yet. Using it for power surges. It was recommended by The Cable Company to upgrade cables first.

Thanks so much for all of your comments. In response to your questions:
“What and why do you want to change?” Most of the time I'm pleased with the sound of my equipment. The sound stage is wide enough. Voice and instruments are detailed and separated enough. But could it be just a little bit better with the proper tweak? There are times though (especially in dense musical passages) that the sound is stage is a blur - as if of all the instruments are coming from the same place. But maybe this complaint should be directed at the recording not the equipment. Anyway, I hope I answered the question sufficiently. 

“1) do you like your current SQ? 2): are all current power cables original? 3) does the wall outlet have significant IR drop, dimming light etc. when high current load is applied? vacuum cleaner turned on etc.” 
I do like the sound quality of my system. All of the power cables are original. I don't notice any IR drop.

Thanks soix for the recommendations but the Equi=1000 is out of my price range. I liked the Equi=Core 600 but I need 5 outlets. You mentioned Pine Tree Audio - what do you think of their Iso-Power 15A Power Filter?

And thanks to soix and jl35 for pointing a finger at the Panamax.

Again, thanks to all of you

Wow, I am grateful for all the responses. A big thank you to all! I don't understand not using a power conditioner with an amp. I would have guessed that conditioned power would be good for it. Do amps not need conditioning? Thanks 

Hello

All my power cords are stock.

The DIY looks very interesting. Is there any particular supplier that anyone would recommend.

I did unplug the amp from the Panamax. Unfortunately it has to be on the same as the Panamax. Things didn't seem to sound much different. Oh, and God help me, I've had the Kimber 8ts and Silver Streak about a month and things are sounding too bright.

Thanks for all the advice!

• What cables/interconnects were you using before?  I’d wait til you have at least 150 hours of playing time on the Kimbers before making any firm conclusions, but it sounds like they could be a mismatch for your system. 

I had an old set of Monster Powerline 2 for speakers. Between CD player and amp was a Cardas Quadlink. (I thought the silver streak would have sounded much better than the Cardas, but it wasn't to my ears) Between Turntable and amp are the ones that came with the Pro-Ject. I would be interested in the used cables you mentioned.  Thanks

Hello soix. I'm looking into the acoustic zens. Just wondering why you suggested them. And if you don't mind - what do you think about about Cardas Persecs? They were recommended to me. Thanks

Thanks audioman58 for your suggestions. You are the third person who did not look favorably on the Panamax. I do plan on replacing it. 

@mclinnguy Thank you

Good day ladies and gents

Thanks to all for the advice. I decided to go The Cable Company Lending Library route. Presently, the Cardas Persec interconnects and speaker cables are hooked up. Replacing Monster powerline 2 and cardas quadlink. It was not a wow transformation. I think the parsecs sounder better (maybe a bit gentler). I was a bit disappointed. Just saying... Would anyone care to comment or share a similar experience? 

@acman3  I was going to go the used cable route until I found that The Cable Company is about 5 miles from home. So, no shipping costs. I borrowed the Parsecs and the Shunyata Gamma interconnects and speaker cables.

@mrdecibel ​Thanks for the tip regarding the Preffair Power Cords. I will probably give them a try. I've read about the possible differences between gold-plated and rhodium. Do you have any comment on the Preffair Carbon Fiber cable? Thanks​​​​​​
