In effect sorted from least to most effect -in my situation/to my ears- I feel it was like this: dedicated spur, power cables, power plant.
Personally I certainly don't find the P3 is restricting the dynamics and I know at least two other people with Devialets here on this forum feel the same. Also given your budget, I'd start looking at a power plant as a solid basis first and go/build/finetune from there. I have to be honest though and confess I did it the other way round and maybe this could be a more rewarding way for you (start small and build from there). It is always best to try these things yourself as well, I know it's the number one most given advice and not always helpful but it is very important as with power all situations differ greatly. I really think there's no fixed recipe that works for any and all.
Hi, to give a view of my experience I would rate from most to least as: Dedicated mains cable and spur, power cable and last filter 'box' (not power plant).
