Hello,
As many stated above power is the single most important factor behind a good performance out of your A/V system. For me what worked best in this regard are
1. Two dedicated circuits with 10 AWG Romex cable
2. Furutech Receptacle GTX-D NCF(R) kit- the receptacle, aluminium side bracket and faceplate
I connect all source components to one receptacle and power amps to the other receptacle.
The level of performance I get out of the Furutech receptacles is way better than any power conditioner/isolation product (Audioquest Niagra, Shuniyata Denali, Einstein, etc) that I tried in my system.
Now coming to the power cable, for my system, it is always the source components where I find a better power cable almost always enhances the system performance.
I was using Nordost Frey-2 power cable for a long time. However I have replaced it by a relatively low profile brand Audio Sensibility based in Canada. I am using their signature power cable and I couldn't be happier. Their signature line of cables is so good at least in my system that I replaced most of the Nordost Frey-2 cables. In my system I have no hesitation to say that they beat Nordost Frey-2 hands down.
It is definitely worth a try if you are looking for a good cable at a moderate cost.
Thanks.
