It appears that you have four unknowns...

-The susceptibility of your equipment.
-The level and nature of any potentially interfering signals on your power line.
-The performance of the PS Audio unit (no specifications for filtering).
-The performance of the Monster cable unit (no specifications for filtering).

That being the case, and especially if you don't even have a specific problem but were just messing around to see if accessories might improve something, then I think you are doing just the right thing: Try stuff and see what happens.

I don't think it just to draw the conclusion that one product is generally superior or inferior to the other, it's simply a crap shoot with so many unknowns and, since they are unspecified, you don't even get to glean any information about the nature of the problem by seeing which works better. However in most field conditions that's just the way it goes, you take a guess at the nature of the problem and try a potential solution and see what effect it has.

You might want to consider how you formed the opinion that "the PS Audio product was supposed to be superior". Do keep in mind that advertising is aimed at bypassing your intellect and directly tweaking your emotions. Advertising assertions not supported by specifications should at the least be ignored. Since in this case that's all you have, just regard them as black boxes, which I think they actually are, and go from there.

Good listening, Rick
