I agree with Garfish, I also have dedicated ac lines (4 20-amp dual gang outlets) and use the Synergistic Research Reference AC coupler to cd transport (this made a really large improvement in dynamics,detail & bass over MIT Z-Cord II),Syn. Res. Master coupler to passive preamp (no noticeable change over MIT Z-cord II),Kimber PK-330 w/watagate plug to Genesis Digital Lens (this made a unbeleivable improvement over stock cord),Syn.Res. Master coupler to DAC (moderate improvement over MIT Z-cord II) & Syn. Res. Reference coupler to amp (large improvement in bass & midrange over AQ AC-20 cord).Also my front end has less brightness & larger soundstage with a Chang Lightspeed CLS9600-ISO power conditioner (amp sounds best & more dynamic plugged direct to seperate outlet. Good luck. Don
