Power Cords, Should they all be from the


My system consists of four dedicated 20 amp ac outlets, PSAudio P300, Black Mamba on CD player, Sidewinders feeding Bel Canto Evo digital amp and P300. Should all the power cords be from the same manufacturer in one's system? Anyone with a similar set-up? Any recommendations such as upgrading the pc feeding the P300?

I don't agree with the dealers comments on the Power Plants. As many discussions here on Audiogon have discussed, the best power treatment for your system will depend on the quality of the AC power delivered in your neighborhood, the RFI situation in your neighborhood and your equipments reaction to that environment. Additionally some digital equipment even in the multi kilobuck range throw huge amounts of junk on the power lines. This isn't a subjectivist observation, it can been seen with good test equipment. Other than the standard recommendations on grounding and dedicated AC lines you are on your own. Even with dedicated AC lines and dedicated grounding my AC power is full of garbage since it is supplied by the first underground neighborhood distribution system dating from the from the 1920's yet due to the configuration of the hills I'm relatively RFI clean. The Power Plants make far more difference in my system than any expensive powercord. But then I have unique power problems.
