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.

“I wouldn’t break the bank on power cords. For me, they didn’t make much of a difference.”

Is that why you picked Pangea 😸
What are you using to plug-in your gear? Power strip or Conditioner?
I recommend Zavfino Majestic MKII ($324-1.5M) power cords in following order,

Tube Main
Tube pre
D/A
CD transport
Turntable
Subs (last)
Roon Nucleus uses DC cable, I suggest you upgrade its stock power supply to a linear power supply.

You asked, “So if you could only do 1 upgrade, would you do cords, or power conditioning??”

Power Conditioner like Audience Forte, it comes with a very nice power cord,

“Cables that are much better cost way over 5k and you will notice the difference immediately”

@begow,
I respectfully disagree with above statement. There are plenty of professionally made high quality power cords to choose from that can sound incredibly good under $1K. As with any aftermarket cable, the degree of improvement one hears is system dependent.
“I disagree that good power cable is system dependent.”

@bewgow,

That’s not what I said 😊
