ARC Ref 3 Power Cord

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has replace the stock power cord for the Arc Ref 3 with some other power cord and has found it to improve the preamps performance? I have replaced the power cords on most of my other components and I am thinking of doing the same with the Ref 3. If so, is there anything good out there without spending an arm and a leg on?

Purist Audio Design 20th Anniversary Contego PC Power cord and/or Stealth Dream. Both sound great in my system.

The standard ARC reference power cord is exceptional and it might be to your advantage to simply use this cord throughout your system if at all possible (it is a 20 amp cord). I have compared it to some of the more expensive power cords and it is as good if not better than the cords priced less than a $1000.00.

I have been using a Shunyata Python Alpha Helix since I first got my REF3. Exceptional results. Pick one up used.

Hi good day, my recommendation is: 1 Purist 20 Anniversary, or as a cheaper option Purist Aqueous 20 Anniversary.
Good luck
Adrian
