One Power Cable or many?

So, I have a nice new Power conditioner, Panamax E5500 for my rig.
Do I run just one good power cable from the conditioner to the wall, or do I run good power cables from each device to the conditioner AND from the conditioner to the wall?

Hello Eric, might I suggest plugging the amp or the sub into the wall with the upgraded PC and then plug everything else into the Panamax. You don't want the unit to restrict current flow.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

Thanks - yup - gonna plug the sub into a separate outlet on a difference circuit.
I was just wondering about using multiple upgraded aftermarket power cords to the power conditioner. If I use a really good aftermarket cord from the wall to the Panamax, would I still realize a benefit of then running aftermarket upgraded cords to everything plugged to the conditioner?

That I can not answer as I have no experience with doing that.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

Eric, I have Pana MAX-5500 AC Regenerator for a few years. I have all SignalCable Magic powercord in all my (IEC) gears (Pana to wall and gears to Pana). What I find was they helped eliminating noise floors in the system.I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

I have the stock cable from my Richard Gray 600s plugged into the wall. All the upgraded cords are plugged into either it or the Pole Pig I use for the front end. This combination worked best for me after trying several other versions.

I have the stock ps-audio cable running from the wall to my ps_audio duet, and the upgraded cords running to the equipment. By the way, Music Direct has the Audioquest NRG-3 power cords on sale, a 3 footer is $99.

That's how I'm running at the moment. Stock PC to the Richard Grey 400pro, upgraded cables to all gear. That said, the RG 400 is a power supply and not a conditioner.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable?
