Prioritization of Power Cords

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out where to prioritize my power cords. Here is my setup: 

  • Audioquest Niagara 1000 Conditioner (currently connected to the wall with a Pangea AC9SE Mk II 7 gauge PC)
  • Line Magnetic 805ia Integrated Tube Amp (currently connected to the Niagara with an Acoustic Zen Tsunami III 11 gauge PC)
  • PS Audio Directstream Junior (currently connected to the Niagara with a SignalCable MagicPower Digital Reference 12 gauge PC)

If I were to get a Audioquest Thunder or an Acoustic Zen Gargantua II PC, where would you put this cord in this setup?

Thanks!

I seem to remember this was asked not so long ago, and surprise surprise, there was no unanimity.  However, I think the majority opted for the connection between wall and the power distributor/conditioner.  In a sense that is the "source", even for the other sources.
Right now, I have an Isotek Synchro on order.

There are a number of PCs on the market specially designed or optimized for digital components, e.g. Triode Wire Labs, JPS Labs, and plenty others.  I wonder how they different from a PC for another low-powered component...
