YES and NO! You would probably hear an improvement(given the right cords), as everything is incremental, but- the present conditoner will be choke point, for the rest of the system(get a better one). Personally; I wouldn't bother replacing the cord on it either. You have nothing to lose, by experimenting though. You'll be buying new PCs for everything anyway, right?
Does it make sense?
I have a Belkin PF60 power conditioner. I'm pretty happy with it, but...
I want to upgrade the power cords of my Bryston BDP-1, Bryston BDA-1 DAC and W4S STP-SE preamp, all plugged into the Belkin. The Belkin has a fixed power cord, with only 14 gauge cables.
Does it make sense to upgrade the components cords or should I replace the conditioner first? The other option I'm thinking of is upgrading the cord of the conditioner, but this involves some work.
