On the face of it, there is a logical approach to fitting PowerChord/s to a hi-fi or home cinema system, it would seem to make a lot of sense to connect a PowerChord to the source component of a system first of all. Any interference getting through to the source component will be amplified throughout the system. We would however recommend experimentation. In many cases, introducing a PowerChord to the source component will bring dramatic improvements to detail, clarity and dynamic performance.
The PowerChord will also enhance the stereo image and improve the space around individual voices and instruments. However, if PowerChords are not being used throughout the system, we would recommend that you experiment first by fitting the PowerChord to the source component and then swapping to the pre or integrated amplifier. In some cases, this may well bring about a bigger increase in performance.
Ultimately, fitting PowerChords throughout a hi-fi or home cinema system will guarantee the best performance but to some extent, the law of diminishing returns comes into effect. Each PowerChord you fit after the initial experimentation described above will bring further improvements but the first one will be the most dramatic.
