Power plant and power cords upgrades a real wow?

I am at the point where the only things I haven't upgrade or to call it some way the weakest links on my system are related to power.

I have Luxman 550 A2
Harbeth C7
PWDAC ps audio
AZ hologram cables
Nordost LS XLR RD IC
Rega P5
Ps audio Phono

A friend came over and said what are you doing with this great gear and with belkin power supply multiple connections and stock power cords in all your units?
I have been thinking since them about his comment but I would like to hear from you guys the true and your experience trough this path.

I am planning to spend 2k on power related upgrades, help and guidance highly appreciate know anything about it.

Regards to you all.

I recently upgraded all my stock PCs with Shunyata Venom 3s-only $125 each. I also got a Blue Circle Thingee (its a power conditioner) for $300 with a 20 amp connect, and a Shunyata 20 amp Venon 3. I plug all sources into the Thingee, and my integrated amp straight into the wall (with a 20 amp cord).

I agree with Elizebeth that it will not transform the sound of your system, like a new source component will. But for my modest system, I think the benefit gained out weighs the cost of the upgrade.
