Power cord recommendation for a dac?


Need a power cord for my new MHDT Orchid tube dac. Looking for something rich and detailed and absolutely glare/grain free, 500 or less, used or new -- something especially palpable in vocal and mid-bass frequencies.

I can't believe some of these so called "Audiophiles" who say that any ordinary stock cord is just as good as the higher end power cords. I just upgraded my DAC PC from an old Shunyata Research to the Pangea AC 14 XL with Cardas copper. I too was skeptical if there would be an improvement and boy was I in for a real treat in upgrade in transparency, 3D soundstage, clarity and solid bass. The best was the price. It didn't break the bank
Good Luck
The Shunyata NR V-10 was the clear winner, although I haven't auditioned the Triode Digital American yet. Dead quiet, detailed and well balanced, with palpable bass. Better than the Shunyata Defender by itself. Next was the Wireworld Electra 7, which had surprising bass, yet wasn't quite as open and balanced. Still a fine cord, though, at a comparatively bargain price. Cardas Clear displayed the typical Cardas sound, smooth and rich, but adding a level of honey across the board, so a "slower," less dynamic sound.

TWL Digital American is very good and Pete is a great guy!
 Give him a call maybe he has some trade-in cords for a good price.
I find the whole cable thing very confusing. Some of the 'science' the goes into the manufacture of some cables actually defies physics but that is an aside. I have a system that has cost me in excess of $US40k and I use Kimber 8TC speaker cable and pretty basic wireworld and/or Kimber interconnects. I have tried speaker cables the sell for over $3k, interconnects up to $2k and some very expensive power cords and plugs. The only time I hear any real difference was when I spent $350 on 1 metre phono cables. I just can't hear any improvement. I recently pruchased an Auralic G2 Dac/Streamer and that made a huge difference but when I tried hi-end cables for this, nothing so back to Kimbers and the standard wall plug. Sorry guys, it's like that EntreQ stuff or Shunyata Cable Risers, I don't hear it???
