Power Cord Order of importance

Currently,  I have Kimber Power Cords for the Amps and Pre-amp.  They are ok.  I have an Inakustic 2404 Power cord for my DAC.  I am buying a music server soon.  I am thinking about upgrading Power cords in two components.  Which components should get the reference level PC's?  I am probably going to spend around $3k for two new PC's.  

Mono Amps
Pre- Amp
DAC
Server

I am looking for the biggest impact on sound quality from a component perspective.

I use sleeves and shrink wrap tubing to add strain relief and prevent kinking.

I wish I had a source of 12 gauge shielded that did not cost an arm and a leg. For my modest 120W integrated, I'll sacrifice the gauge for noise rejection though.

Best,

You should consider building a pair of PC's out of DH labs shielded power cords. Throw them into your mix and see.  I suspect you'll find the shielding works really well in the pre and amp.
