I recently added an AudioQuest Niagara 1000 power conditioner, and then a Storm Tornado cord from the conditioner to the wall.
The SQ improvement (not just a change) was immediately obvious. In my experience, a much greater step forward than changing, for example my DAC or amplifier. On top of that, the cost of a better power cord is massively less than the additional cost of getting a "better" amplifier or DAC.
I sense there will always be those who don't like spending their money on cords and cables. They prefer boxes, for whatever reason.
