Where to start is to consider the entire power flow set up by thinking of it as an entire system. I first got a power conditioner but it wasn’t until the wall plug, cords et all was changed that the sound morphed like it was top end system that’s a on a medium priced system (compared to many).
Despite having a great system it was lagging/flat and after measuring (scientist friend) here at the house I found out that I have poor dirty power. I did everything I could and the ultimate critic who could care less (my wife) even says wow..... and now she put’s on music..ok then...the fix was all in a bit over 2k. I did months of research. The buzz term is to make a quite noise floor.
I found on ebay LASPADA AUDIO APOLLO II 10 and 12 gauge Rhodium plated power cables...(Wow!)..very reasonable for what they are.
They in turn go into a used Furman it reference 15i power conditioner (more wow also consider AudioQuest Niagara 1000 used on ebay or the top 5000 ) and that plugs into a
Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) Ultimate Nano-Crystal Rhodium-Plated AC Duplex Receptacle with wall frame and cover... maybe overkill but an upgraded plug is key. You can read up on this and what to get until your eyes pop out...But all agree it’s a must.
House can’t be torn apart to put in dedicated 20AMP lines so none for me. (Or I would have gotten a 20AMP power conditioner...make sure to get the right amperage as 20 Amp plugs are different)
Also added a Synergistic Research Blue Quantum Fuse (who would have though that could matter)
as well as a few PS Audio - Noise Harvesters
If your gear is tight on shelves you will have to allow for more room as the upgraded cords require a more gradual bend as they are stiff and large.
