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?

I used to have the PPP and tried various aftermarket power cords to no avail. I tried one of PS's Statement cords too. I ended up in selling mine because I could not get good sonic performance from my system (my speaker's sound was rolled off in the upper mids and high frequencies). I would suggest that if you plan to keep it, just use the stock power cord. From listening with and without these conditioner/ regeneration devices over the past years, I'm beginning to feel that if you have upgraded aftermarket outlets (maybe dedicated lines), you may not need these devices to acheive good sound.
