What power cord are TW Acustic TT owners using?

Hi guys! I ordered a Raven One from Jeff at High Water Sound and it should be arriving soon. I've had no experience with power cords for turntables as my previous ones have all had captive cords. System is CJ-PV5 preamp, Belles 300A power amp, Unity Audio Sig One speakers, Wadia 830 cd player, Analysis Plus Oval-9 speaker wires, Harmonic Tech Pro Silway-3 interconnects. Any thoughts on PC's in the $300 to $500 range would be gratefully appreciated. Oh, the Raven One will have a 12 inch Ortofon arm and Dynavector 20X cart. Thanks in advance!--Mrmitch

Thanks for your responses so far! I had been thinking along the lines that a power cord for a non-high current piece of equipment shouldnt matter that much and you've pretty much confirmed that. Budget constraints mean I will have to go with the Dynavector cart for now, but when more funds are available, a better cartridge is on my list. Thanks to Ebm too for his view of Electraglide.--Mrmitch

Hi Mrmitch,
If you do want to try some accessories that will improve the performance of your Raven One, please do consider TTWeights's excellent peripheral rings and record weight/clamp combination. I got one recently and it's great for those less than perfect records which is getting more common by the day unfortunately. Good value and obvious sonic improvement to ge gained.
Lastly, enjoy the new rig and spinning records.

Thanks again for your replies! And thank you Jaspert for sharing your knowledge and experience. I had read your experience with the ring and weights in another thread, sounds like something to investigate. Jeff e-mailed me yesterday to tell me he is throwing in a power cord gratis, you can't beat that. My experience with him so far has been nothing but exemplary.--Mrmitch

I tried a few power cords on my One and like others, found no difference. In the UK, the One used to come with a Millenium record weight. The UK importer felt it made no real difference. Mine came with Millenium feet, I certainly found an audible improvement with Stillpoints + risers. Otherwise I feel the TW decks are so well designed, they are pretty tweak proof
