Power Cable Question...

My first post on Audiogon, thanks for any input. Just got the PS Audio Trio C100 amp and a Cambridge entry level cdp. Today I wanted to upgrade the stock power cables. I've tried plugging in 3 different models, PS Audio Jewel/PW AC-3/Pangea all 3 I can't get plugged in to either component. The force needed to set the plugs in flush on the units have me scared of actually breaking something. Is it the models I have? Or am I missing something?
Forgive any newbie mistakes, this is my first attempt at putting together a "hi-fi". If anyone knows of a relatively cheap Power Cord that would easily plug into these two units please advise. Thanks.

Srwooten...seeing the system you have reminds me of how far I have to go. My sytem is basically a bookshelf hi-fi, but it sure sounds better than the Bose Acoustic Wave it replaces. right now I have the PS Audio Trio c100, Cambridge 340 cdp, Energy RC 10 bookshelf speakers, Hydra 2 power cond. Also have 1 Mapleshade Maple Wood amp platform, not sure if makes a sound difference but it looks great!

Bluesky-
Your set up sounds like it is off to a great start and I bet it is very enjoyable to listen to, to say the least!

BTW- I mis-understood your problem. Most upgraded female ends of the power cords do NOT go in until they are flush. They tend to wiggle a bit to. The male end which goes to the power source MUST go in all the way. I'll try to post a pic in a minute to see if this is your situation.

...the plug end that goes into the Hydra 2 is no prob. it's the other end that doesn't want to go into the component. I should have the Cardas power cable by end of week, I'll post if it connects better than the PSAudio cables.
