Does preamp w/Power Supply need a good Power Cord?

Hi Everyone,

I pulled the trigger on a good SS preamp with an external power supply. Does the Power Supply cancel out the benefits of a decent power cord? Having never had a preamp with an external power supply, would this be a waste of money? I have a system that retails out at around $15,000, so I don't want to get in over my head and spend $1000 on a cord, but if a $200 cord will make an audible difference, then I would welcome the change.

Not knowing you situation, system, or gear being used... there are a few Tg Audio HSR-i gen2 cords on Agon now, that for the $$ can't be touched. Esp with Solid State gear... They will greatly improve your soundstage (focus, layering...) and PRaT. A good barometer from which to base improvement on if you move up the ladder to more expensive cords. Not afiliated in anyway with the seller - just a Tg Audio fan myself...

I have had a number of preamps with separate power supplies (Audible Illusions, Blue Circle, Joule Electra, Pass Labs) all have benifited from the Ac cable upgrades!
