Jolida JD 100 PC suggestions

Any suggestions for powercords for the Jolida CDP (mine has "level 1 mods")? Lots of comments on the many threads on this player to the effect that the PC makes a difference, but relatively few specific suggestions. The VH Audio Flavor 4 comes up; is that a good way to go, or do people have better ideas (esp. around that price point)?

Thanks!

JPS labs - no doubt. It is amazing in general but on the Jolida it has synergy.

For the price I like the PS Audio cords.

High jmd: you're going to get as many opinions for a PC as there are people willing to answer your question. I've had the JD 100 Level 1 mod for about 1.5 years and tried different cords. Right now I use the inexpensive Supra Lo Rad cord and it sounds good. Are you using a power conditioner with your cdp? Be careful- the one I've used the past 2 years (I won't name any names) was taking some of the livliness out of my music without me realizing it. With the JD100 you will want to have the optimum setup to keep it lively. I also recommend Herbies Halo tube dampers.

Thanks, folks. All good suggestions; I'll probably try first whatever comes up reasonably, used.

Gooddomino:
"I like my Signal Audio Magic Digital PC." means the digital cable from Frank's "Signal Cable"? I have his SC and ICs already, like the SCs quite well.

Foster_9: Thanks for the suggestions. I gather one removes the stock tube covers when using the dampers? Btw, I do not powercondition, though I do run a dedicated circuit with cryo'd unplated hubbels from cryoparts. No idea whether this makes a difference, but I needed more outlets!

Best,

John
