In what order connecting power cords on mainsblock?

Try both, if you can’t make a choice it doesn’t matter. The difference is more apparent as you go up the range so retry after an upgrade. There is no consensus as to which is best but some of us do have a marked preference, we just don’t agree which it is.

I know that the most power demanding unit is often connected to no.1 mains socket, to get a smoother audio quality maybe connecting the CD player to no1 socket could give a different audio experiance?

I'm interested to know what others have done in what order they connected their units?

There is some important information missing here for us to give a meaningful answer.

is the Supra DC blocker the mainsblock ?

what mains cables are used to connect from mainsblock to Naim boxes ?

what mains cable (power cable) is used to connect said mainsblock to wall ?

does the wall socket that the mainsblock connected a far distance from your system  ?

your best option is to get everything on a level playing field as much as possible.

I'm in the US, so FWIW - I use a Wiremold power strip. Having experimented between an integrated, CDP, PSU, and TTPSU I found the following;

1) started with conventional wisdom to get the TTPSU (wall wart) off the power strip and into a separate wall socket, because the wall wart introduces noise to the power strip,

2) tried most permutations of ordering, including other devices into the separate wall socket,

3) found I could detect no noise from the wall wart when used in my power strip. Likewise, no discernable difference with ordering devices into the power strip,

4) did find perhaps an iota of better results when plugging the integrated into the wall socket. This is the same socket (a Furutech GTX-D Rhodium) that my power strip is also plugged into.

Bottom line, ordering made no difference, a wall wart in the power strip made no difference, and plugging the amp into the same "upgraded" socket shared by the power strip seemed a slight gain, though I doubt at a level I could successfully blind A/B a change. It's all on the same circuit anyhow.

In the end, my two cents is you can play around with ordering, have fun and experiment to sate your inquisitive side, but ultimately the time is probably better spent simply enjoying music, especially where you're dealing with Flatcap level gear, same as I was. Things might get more meaningful with higher level gear.

All that said, dropping $150 on the Furutech wall socket was money well spent. Cleaner sound with better cohesion and I feel I could definitely blind A/B it versus the original $1 wall socket my house came with.

Sorry dude, I didn't mention all info in the starter thread.

My DC-blocker is an individual device and I also have a individual mainsblock which is a Supra MD-06, I have to use a mains block to connect all electronics to one unit in PHASE.

All my mains cables are Supra LoRad power cables, I replaced my stock power cables to LoRads.

The Supra MD-06 which I bought  was custom manufactured for me and comes without any filtering and without surge protection, it's all about distributing power to my Naim units and nothing else, some Supra mainsblocks are fitted with a mild filtering. I ordered a transparent MD-06 WITHOUT filtering not to degrade audio quality.

I know this has been discussed before and many people does not approve using Supra LoRads with Naim units, I'm using LoRads cables on all my Naim units coz LoRads were very affordable and very much high end for it's price!

My Naim units are a NAP150 - FLATCAP2 XS - CD5 - StageLine with EPOS M5 speakers stands.

I have connected all my Naim units to my mainsblock MD-06 including LoRad power cable. Then I connected my MD-06 to my Supra DC-blocker using a LoRad power cable with 16A socket from DC-blocker and the Schuko plug into my wall outlet.

I have no hum issues anymore using my DC-blocker, I'm very happy with this hifi accessory.

My main question was if I should do guinea pig test experimenting  with my power cords changing places on MD-06 to either connect my CD5 in the first socket and the amplifier NAP150 into 2nd socket?

Or

Just keep it the way it is coz there won't be any audio improvement switching places between amp and cd-player for socket 1 and 2?

Thank you all for your replies
