NBS 3S power cable


May I know which equipment is the best to use NBS 3S (blue) power cable?  CD player? DAC? Preamplifiers? Power amp?   

I'm using Esoteric K1 CD/ SACD player, ARC Ref 6 per-amp, Passlabs X350.8 poweramp and Wilson Audio Sophia 3 speaker.  Want to try NBS 3S power cable but  not sure which part of equipment can get the best result .

Thanks for everybody's advice.

hiendmmoe98: 
Your information is very useful.  I think my system sounds thick, and because my listening area is not big. If NBS sound more heavy then I'm afraid the my system sounds too powerful, I need to think about this.


stereo54: I'm using a Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante power cable for my Esoteric Grandioso K1. Before K1, I use a Esoteric K-03X CDP with a Acrolink 7N-4030 Mark II Power cable. I always use Acrolink PC for my Esoteric CDP, it sounds more natural. As I know Esoteric use Acrolink cable to do audition and produce OEM cable for them. Acrolink cable sound really match Esoteric CDP.


hiendmmoe98: I'm using a Shunyata Sigma Analog (20A plug) for my ARC Ref 6 and so far I'm happy with this, no plan to change.
I can't do any experiment because I have not yet to purchase this PC.  I'm looking for a PC for my power-amp to replace my Furutech DPS-4. 0 PC. And I will only consider this if it has good result on power-amp.  

I used to check with a NBS's local distributor in my area. They said NBS 3S work best with CDP and per-amp but not power-amp.  If I want a good PC for power-amp they ask me to look at NBS Universal II.  But this is NBS's  latest top model, very expensive and there is no 2nd hand product in the market yet.   I want to buy a 2nd hand NBS 3S (or other brand)
