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 just bought 3 power cords from Patrick Cullen, They are execllent quality and are very reasonably priced. He was helpful in picking different cords for different components.  He custom makes them to order, starting at 3 feet.  It will take a few weeks to get them as he was running about two weeks worth of orders ahead of mine.  Give him a call - he is very helpful.  I found about about him from an add he placed on Audiogon.

Close your eyes. Have a helpful third party lay out all the candidate cords in front of you.  Plck one up.

On the other hand, power conditioners or active filters can affect SQ.

Nice system. I would start with a PC on the cd transport or Oppo 103.

Happy Listening!
