Help selecting a power cord.


All my gear has the factory supplied power cords  I’m ready to try 1 aftermarket power cable as a test.  So what brand power cable should it be and what device gets it first?  Tube pre?  Tube main?  D/A?  CD transport?  Roon Nucleus?  Subs?  GE Trefs?? Turntable? Oppo 103?   Which piece of my gear should be most affected by the improved power cord??  I look forward to the responses and will likely choose the cord that has the most recommendations.

Power conditioners are very dependent on your location not just on your system. In the UK we generally have good clean power and I live 4 houses away from a small electrical sub-station. Probably for this reason power conditioners make no improvement, and actually make the sound worse. In the US I believe that the quality of the power is poorer and many seem to get big improvements from conditioners. But it will still depend - rural locations vs city apartment blocks will have very different quality of electrical power. 

Re power cables - there are too many brands to know more than a handful but of the ones I have heard I can recommend Shunyata. The mid-series Alpha range by them are particularly good value.
