What cable first

I currently have a B&K pre and B&K 200.2 amp with factory power cords. I also have an SVS powered sub with factory power cord. I'm considering upgrading in the power cords to something in the $100-$200 range per each peice, although one at a time. Which would make the biggest impact, if any? Also looking at ic's in the same range. I need to go from my Marantz cd player to my pre-amp. Maybe a power conditioner first would be better, and should my amp, sub and other components be on different outlets? If so, would I need multiple power conditioners? Any and all responses are appreciated, including witty sarcasm.

As far as three different outlets (presumably on different circuits, or why bother)...that's asking for ground loop problems....don't do it.

Do you have personal experience that proves to YOU that changing any power cord will change what YOU hear. I am sure there are a few who can hear a difference, however I suspect that many "think" they hear a difference or are just following the "power wire gurus".

If I were your friend, I would bet you real money that in a blind test, you would not be able to tell which device has a $1000 power cord and which one has the factory power cord.
