Hi Judith,
I agree with Richard about losing the power strip unless it is something special. Maybe a Juice Bar from PS Audio would work for you. You can Daisy chain them if you need more than 6 receptacles. They're about $200 each. Personally I'd probably go with the shorter power cords especially if they are expensive and the longer ones cost more... I doubt that there'd be a large performance edge either way.
I'd plug the power amp straight into the wall if possible; but you could try it both ways.
BTW, how'd you make out tracking down that performance inconsistency at 500-1000Hz?
