Good question. My preamp is from the 70's and the amp, late 90's. Both are quality pieces that I will be keeping but they do not have IEC inputs. Both have stock (Audio Research) cables on them.
I've upgraded IEC cables on other components and it made a HUGE effect on sound. I also added a Richard Gray Power Company box and that also made a HUGE improvement. Say what you will about those, I'm not going to be taking it out of the line. =)
I'm exploring what difficulty or problems I would run into by putting in new cables in the older pieces. I have no intention if installing IEC inputs on them, just new cables.
