Power cord used with phono pre- amp?


Is anyone using a power cord other than stock cord with phono amp and what is the benefit? I have a Conrad Johnson Premier 15 Series 2 phono stage and just had it upgraded to CJD Teflon capacitors and considering upgrading the stock power cord. Thanks, Bill

The problem with "this" kind of "upgrade" is, that it won't survive a comparison with another piece of electronics which is done better internally.
But anyway, from my experience, best for bang you can do is to replace the connector only. I use Oyaide, they are good from specs and contact area.
That is a good point. I was once told by an electrical engineer who is also an audiophile, that he felt that the best upgrade path for the Neotech AC cables was to change the ends. He felt, and I do the same, that the internal construction of the Neotech cables were solid performers without altering the AC paths, but the connectors did influence, to a degree the perceieved sound and quality.

Alll I can say is, based on my experience, costs do not mean a thing when it comes to cables and syngergy, trial and error, and lots of time, more so. There is no magic fix, just reasonable listening and comparing of ones listening traits to get to that point where someone can say this is it. There is a relationship of price to quality and packaging, but again, that does not mean it is the best fit to someones system, yeah, we all know that already, that is why we are here.(Something stated from the movie, Matrix).

Your system is pretty impressive and looks nice, I bet you have done a lot of cable comparisons on your way to nirvana.

Hi AQ4L :-),
well, honestly, yes, some. But I am not a cable fanatic, I think the best investment is in better electronics. Cables are normally used to compensate something weak in the chain or to bend the sound to owners taste (whatever this will be). Discussions about that are like rolling a dice ... :-)
Hi Syntax,

"Discussions about that are like rolling a dice ... :-)"

True, so true. I think that we share the same reasonable thought process on this matter as well.
