Power Cables and Power Conditioner


I bought my first PS Audio (PSA) outlet as well as a PSA power cable.  I had intended to use the power cable to go from the new wall outlet to the conditioner but when I got home I realized the Furman ELITE-15 DMi has a fixed power cable.  I thought dang it and was going to return the PSA cable but then decided to give it a try.  So I ran the PSA cable from the Furman to my Rogue Audio Preamp.  I swear I think there was a moderate improvement to the overall image.  But of course this could be placebo and I have not done a bunch of with/without listening but am happy so far.


I assume the Furman filter is doing its job and adding the PSA power cord to the Pre is preserving this current as best it can. I would like to add another cord for the DAC and the power amp. But thought I would float this probe to see what other people do in similar situations as this.

I have a Furman power conditioner as well (Elite 15i), and was able to convert it so it could use a detachable power cord. It wasn't simple, but I could provide details if anyone's interested.
A dedicated line with MRI outlets across the board with good power cables into each component is one way to ensure there is little to no noise spread from one component to any other.
What are "MRI outlets"? Does it make a difference to have them in at every point on the circuit, or just where the audio equipment is plugged in?
