Line Conditioner or New Power Cords?


I can afford one of the two right now. Which would make the biggest impact on my Arcam/Totem setup?

Thanks

This is a which comes first thing with some audiophools: the chicken or the egg. There are NO power cords out there that can do what an excellent power conditioner can do. I'd start (it is the way I did mine)with the best power conditioner I feel comfortable with and modest quality cords. That may be the end of your electric journey. In my case, as you can see, I went for different power cords. Dedicated outlets+power conditioner+excellent power cords = electric nirvana. You'll never look back..warren
I have yet to hear of reasonably priced = excellent. I love the Audio Magic line, but would go with Sound Application in a flash, as well. Oooles of Audiophools love the Shunyata Hydras. I have one on my rig for my TV room. Very nice, indeed.
I disagree with Marakanetz. "dirt cheap?" forget about price. Poor power conditioners can add some evil little nasties. I'm not a "Monster" fan, and it is a monster. Your most cost effective start to electric nirvana are dedicated lines for your analog and digital. Start there..
