" Has anyone found their power conditioner to be redundant after putting the power cables in their system? "
I copied your quote because in my experience after market power cords being inserted into another maufacturers Power Conditioner can sometimes produce less than stellar results.
I beleive the term is called cascading filters, other A goners correct me if I am using the wrong terminolgy.
I have used VD Audition and Nite, as well as JPS Labs digital AC, I found all three to be great cords, but in all cases they sounded better straight into the outlet vs through my Power Conditioner, which is a Tice Power Block IIIC.
The only knock I will give to the VD cords, is they are large, stiff and bulky which makes placement of the cords so that they do not come in contact with your interconnects and speaker cables {very important in my book for ALL AC cords} , difficult.
