Power Cords, Should they all be from the

I'm totally biased here, since I sell the Powersnakes, but my experience is that with the high-end power cords, PLCs usually make things worse instead of better, and vice versa. I used to own the Power Plant 300 and found the 'Snakes to offer better improvement, but of course, YMMV. As for keeping all the power cords in the same family, that I would definitely agree with. But then I also feel that all the interconnects in one's systems should be from the same family too. I'm sure opinions differ on this, but that's my experience at least.

I am comming from a different direction. A variety of power cords can make components sound different. Find the combination that sounds the best to you. All expensive pc's don't always make the best music. Mikeg, your set-up of pc's sounds good based upon my experience, however you never known what will happen by mix-and-match.

Until I got into the Powersnakes and FIM power cords, I prefered to mix and match. With the Powersnakes, you'll vary the models throughout the system, KC frontend and Cobra/Viper on amps. The FIM is the first brand that their Gold power cord can (and should) be used throughout the system regardless of the component. The FIM Gold is a very special product.
