In my experience, there's no guarantee about what sounds good and where. Try an upgraded power cable on your source, the conditioner, and amps and see what sounds the best. If you get two power cables, it gives you more flexibility to experiment and see what combination sounds best, and if you think that additional cables will sound good on all your components.

Each range of WW power cables have a different character so the choice should be what best matches your equipment. But in place of trying the different varieties of WW power cables, it does hold true that the higher up the line you go, the more "audiophile" they get.

As far as WW having a conditioner built in, I think it refers to the claims of resistance of the design to noise and emf/rmf - not that there is an active device in the cable - at least this is how I understood it in the past.

Christian,
Thanks for the suggestion of starting with couple of power cables and test them across the components. Make sense! Will try that.

I reached out to WW and asked them when they would upgrade their power cords from current serie 7 to 8. Here is their response:

"We do not have any plans to change our power cords, we are can not figure out how to make them better".
