Opinions on differing power cable for amp and preamp


Hello All,

Looking for your thoughts/advice/opinions. I currently have a Rotel RSP-1582 preamp and I am using a Transparent High Performance Power cable. My amp is a Simaudio Titan HT200 5 channel amp using a Shunyata Delta NR 20 amp power cord. Better to trade the Shunyata Delta for a Transparent Premium 20 amp power cord? Does that make more sense for synergy purposes or does it really not make a difference mixing different power cables from different manufacturers? I should also mention all my speaker cable and interconnects are Transparent Plus. 

Thanks all in advance....

While I use a mix of Nordost Valhalla and Acoustic Revive reference power cables, getting clean power to the system involves much more than power cables: a separate spur, power conditioning through either a balanced transformer or passive conditioning (Acoustic Revive, Furutech) as well as grounding support (again Acoustic Revive RGC-24, Akiko Audio) as well as proper EMI/RFI filtering of the individual units‘ power supplies. The power chord is but one component of the system and the aim should be neutrality rather than a specific sound characteristic.
