There was surprising and significant improvement when I changed the PC on my preamp. All sources run through it, and it feeds the power amps. I changed it not because I was expecting improvements, but because of the much better IEC grip it offered over the previous cord. Changing out the cords on the amps yielded some further improvement as well, but the preamp improvement was of a greater degree.
