Pwr Cord Upgrade for PS Audio Pwr Plant Premiere?


I would like to pose a question regarding the need for any type of power cord upgrade for a PS Audio Power Plant Premiere (PPP) power regenerator. If I understand its workings properly, the PPP will take “dirty” line current and, through its electronics, regenerate it into a consistent source of new “clean” AC power. It is not coloring or conditioning the existing power feed in the classical sense. It this is true, what benefit would an upgraded power cord provide? If “dirty” AC is being regenerated into “clean” AC, does it matter, within reason, how “dirty” the power is to begin with? So, back to my question….would an upgrade of the power cord for a PPP provide any benefit at all and, if so, why?

Just want to say that the MAIN purpose of using a after market power cord feeding the PPP is NOT to lower the output %THD further, but to ease the effort of the PPP so it can concentrate on what it is suppose to do.

Also, a power cord is just like interconnects and has its own sound characters depending on the core material, shielding, wiring method etc. For the PPP, a good match will be the PSA's STATEMENT SC or the AC-10, AC-12. Forget about their earlier and lower models.

Lastly, the price/performance ration of all power cords are also different and you have to compare apple to apple.
