Power cords for ModWright SCD-XA5400es

I cross-posted this also in the Digital forum.

I just pulled the trigger on upgrading my stock Sony XA5400es with the ModWright mods.

For those of you that have done the mod, what type of power cords did you end up considering and ultimately using? Or did you stay with the stock cords? Are the power cords for the new separate power supply and the player the same brand/model?

TIA,

Anyone wish to update this thread ?
I would be interested in reading about the gains made w/ PC on the 5400ES.

Happy Listening!

I'm using CH Acoustic X20 and have used Voo Doo Vector, Fire and Platnuim PC and they are great sounding cables...

TY- wig.

from above- I have always wanted to demo Elrod, Jorma, Oringo, Purist Audio...etc. There are so many cables/cords, so little time.

Hi wig,

A good friend of mine with a MW 5400ES (tube pre, H2O class D amps, Apogee Scintillas) recommends the PS Audio AC-10 and Cullen power cords with the MW. Says that both are "clean and open sounding". I had a PS Audio LAB PC years ago, but have no memory of its sound. The Cullen PCs are relatively inexpensive so may be worth a try.

Also considering the Cerious Technologies GE PC. I read where one Agoner had Cerious make an umbilical cord that he says sounds superior to the MW Truth umbilical.

Best to you wig,
Dave
