If you use your Oppo for most of your entertainment then start with the Oppo, if you have a variety of components all being used in addition to the oppo running through your pre-pro start there. As a general rule you want to start at the source of the signal and work backward with power cords but if you start with the pre/pro you can spread the benefit to all of the components you run through it in addition to the oppo.

Hi Gavin

Since in your case we're talking about mid-sensitivity speakers with not so flat impedance, my thinking is to put the nice PC on your MCH amp first. It's probably the component that needs the most help from the wall. Just my guess.
