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....

Its kind of funny, some people seem to live in a strange beyond words universe where things like power cords know to sound different depending on what they are plugged into. Over here in my universe the power cord that sounds one way plugged into the amp sounds..... exact same when plugged into the phono stage, CDP, turntable..... what a surprise. 

If you find one that sounds really good, beautiful balance, not too much or too little of any one thing, then guess what? More of them will be better. If you have one that is pretty good, especially with powerful bass but not so much top end extension then guess what? More of it will be too much of a "good thing". Which brand it is, the whole concept of "loom" is nothing more than jargon some guys like to throw around to impress other guys. 

It works, more often than not, so they keep on doing it.
