Upgraded Sonos ZP-80 Power Cord


Hi all:

I have the Cullen modified ZP-80 and am very happy with it as a source. However, the stock ($1.49 on sale at Home Depot) power chord is insulting. Has anyone come up with a real power cord for a Sonos? I would be interested in what would work but more interested in any real life experience with swaping cords.

Thanks.

I did file the ends of the cord and it fits like a glove now. It sounds great with a deeper bottom end. It should sound even better when it breaks in.
Great recommendation Tboooe! I can't believe I've never asked this question myself. I should get my Power Punch tomorrow!
jseminetta, great news! I would be curious to hear your thoughts after the cord breaks in (you to Shazam!, that was a great show by the way!)
Just got it in my system last night and my initial perception is similar to Jseminetta's - a cleaner and deeper bottom end is the most immediate thing to jump out at me. I get hints of better staging here and there that will likely get better as it breaks in a little more. I'm hoping a more consistent power flow will make the clocks that much more accurate and jitter free.

I left it running today while at work, so I should be able to get some good listening in over the week-end. The Cullen mods on the Sonos and PS Audio Dac 3 seem to be settling in nicely as well lately. I'm very happy with this set up now.
Thanks guys! I am planning on upgrading my ZP-80 soon as well. I will try the PS Audio power cord first the move on the Cullen mod.
