Prioritizing Power Cable Upgrades by System Component.

I'm digging into the world of power cables and it is kind of amazing. The promise that a good cable can bring along with its price is both exciting and staggering.

There are several components that need some kind of power cable and upgrading them, for me, needs to be done in steps.

For those that have upgraded power cables, how would you prioritize between the pre-amp (tube), power amp (ss) and powered sub...and possibly even the DAC?

Source first, if you have preamp and amp components consider the preamp as a source.

I auditioned upgraded cables tehy were Shunyata Venom NR….  The impact was improved dynamics and details. And one of the sonic effects was the improved detail and control of lower frequencies - I think the cables reduced noise entering the compound thus creating a lower noise floor.
 

I started with source and there was a similar impact on my amps. I bought all at the same time. 

 

If you can audition- I’d be curious on your experience…enjoy the process.
