That is not necessarily the case as someone mentioned it depends on the quality of power comming into your panel. I used a passive conditioner on and off for about 12 months. I did not like it, system sounded veilled, so I sold it and I plug my eq...

EMM Labs DCC2 with Sony SCD-777ES
Have you considered modding your Sony? I have a SCD-1 and just recently had the SC3 / SCPS and the transport caps upgraded. The player has improved substantially in the ares you mention on both redbook and SACD. I can not comment as to the quality...

Will power conditioning really help?
I used a PS Audio UPC 200 in my system on and off for about 12 months; did not like it. My system sounded more veiled with the UPC 200 than without it; so I sold it.Chuck 
When will your system be enough?

Avalon eidolon diamond with cj 350 sa
I believe Martin Colloms used the Avalon diamonds for his review of the 350 and made comments that it was one of the best amps he has ever heard. You can read the review on cj's web site. So my guess is that it would be an excellent combination.Chuck

Power Cord for my McCormack DNA-500
SteveWould your comment translate to utilizing the stock cord? I never used the stock cord on my premier 350 so maybe it would be better than utilizing the PS Audio with the IEC adapter. What are your thoughts? PS Audio does not offer a 20A IEC fo... 
CJ ACT2 with Premier 140 or 350 or LP70S?
AudioblazerAny of them would work very well with your speakers. If you were satisfied with your SET integrated and don't mind the heat and maintenance I would go with the 140 or the LP70M (mono-bloc). I must admitt an affection for tube amps after... 
CJ ACT2 with Premier 140 or 350 or LP70S?
