Turntable Power Cord Upgrade

@ebm Just curious what other power cords have you used besides Purist?

I am looking at replacing a couple of PC in a system. Into my Moon 340i and Moon 280 DAC.

Thanks.

My very first turntable mod was to hard wire a better power cord onto the Basis motor. There was no IEC so it had to be soldered. It was a very inexpensive power cord. Well, I wasn't about to go cutting up an expensive one for an experiment now was I? Yet in spite of that it was a very noticeable improvement. 

If a power cord is good it will be good on whatever you use it with. If not then guess what? Not a good power cord after all. It really is that simple.

The sound of a component starts with the power supply - not what comes before it! Physics 101! If you believe that there is something wrong with your AC power I suggest calling a licensed electrician.

The only "bad" power cord is one that doesn't have continuity - won't pass voltage. The belief that a power cord has a "sound" is a clever marketing ploy to extract money from the gullible and easily deluded!

I put a $500.00 Shunyata power cord on my VPI Prime turntable and heard no difference.  I have that same cord on my Technics SL1200G turntable and still don’t hear a difference although it does look nice.  I talked to Matt Weisfield @VPI about an aftermarket cord for the Prime and he laughed and told me the motor won’t know the difference.  He was right.
