Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors

I used a Brickwall (Zerosurge) for a short while and found it limited dynamics and soundstage compared to going directly into the wall. The same with a Tripp Lite. The AQ Niagara 1200 worked the best with my older gear until I got my Technics integrated and CDP and again, after trying it out of boredom, found that going directly into the wall was best. 

All the best,

First round recommended evaluations:

Emotiva CMX-2+ with AC Line Filter With DC Offset Eliminator and Surge Protection
https://emotiva.com/products/cmx2
Only DC offset eliminator that I’ve used that worked and didn’t kill dynamics (and I’ve tried many).  Unfortunately, only two outlets so I would recommend using one of these Wiremolds if you need more:

• https://www.hawthornestereo.com/wiremold-l10320-9-outlet-ac-power-strip.html (more expensive)
• https://www.gordonelectricsupply.com/p/Wiremold-Ul205Bc-Lc-13In-Gray-W-8-5-15R-Recepts/5623451 (less expensive)

Volex 17504 10 B1 Power Cord (my favorite bang for the buck)

1875W/15A Rating, use these for all my components in my main system.

Signal Cable MagicPower Power Cord (have used these also)

Another very good bang for the buck cord, but they are heavy and stiff, which can cause issues in tight areas.

OP, do you have a hifi shop nearby?  This is always the best advice given imo: demo some gear!!! Do not buy blindly online.  Find someone close that deals in Shunyata gear or whatever you're interested in.  Those that say power cords and power conditioning don't matter, I'd challenge them to say have they ever tried it in an acoustically treated space with high end gear?  Ofc on low end gear you're not going to tell a difference.  Maybe your speakers should be first though.  I think room and speakers have the largest impact on sonics.  But yes, these all make a difference, sometimes massively.  And the comment on what Pass ships with their products, who cares?  They aren't cable manufacturers and sending a giant audiophile cable would be cost prohibitive.  But to say they don't make a difference is just incorrect from an objective standpoint

As above, "Good surge suppression is a MUST for expensive high-end equipment." -- ABSOLUTELY TRUE.   +1 to willywonka.

@singere:  Yes, you should add a power conditioner to your audio system.  And, yes you should use all  upgraded aftermarket power cables in your audio system.  Happy listening.
