Power Conditioner Cables

Upgrading the power cord for my DAC, which plugs into a power conditioner, then realized the conditioner itself
is using just its own original stock rubber cord (which is, however, replaceable). Seems there would be no point unless I first upgrade the power conditioner cord. Never occurred to me before because, apart from the DAC, the only source components using the conditioner lack replaceable power cords of their own.

Funny I don't recall ever reading about upgrading the power cords on conditioners. Bet there are many here who know something about this .  .  .

What power conditioner are you using?
And yes, installing a high quality aftermarket PC on a conditioner should make a very audible improvement.

The gauge of the cable depends on the type and size of the power conditioner and the components being used.

OP, I don’t see a Quattro Premier listed on Google, who is the manufacturer? I’d like to know the type of conditioning you’re using and desire as replacement; eg, active, passive, power strip with filtering.

@hickamore,
The Brickwall power conditioner/surge protector is an affordable highly effective unit if you want to move up from the Pangea. Lowers the noise floor, I used it for all sources and a small amp. My high current amp sounded better plugged into the wall.
