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.

So, I just received my Power Punch cord from PS Audio. The end is not exactly the same as what fits in the Sonos. One half is round like the sonos but the other half is squared off. Should I file the end to make it round so it fits in the sonos? Please let me know. 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.
