Aftermarket power cords for McIntosh amps/preamps

Just wanting to hear from McIntosh owners and those familiar with the MC402 amp and the C2200 preamp and their recommendations for some aftermarket power cords with price tags less than 350 USD used. I have a Cardas Golden Reference right now on the MC402 and a Harmonic Tech Fantasy Ac-10 on the C2200 preamp. Thank you. Dave.

the power cords on mac really are great. mac is not likely to sound much better with a custom cord. check the roger russell website.

If you are looking for fairly inexpensive (59.00 for 3 feet and 4.00 each extra foot.)

The Power cables are pretty nice 10gage wire. I have a 10ft one on my MC352 and I do notice a big difference compaired to the stock one. I am not sure how much better it would sound with a cable at twice the price.

I am using Harmonic Tec ProII on my MC253 and MX135 and using a PS Audio Interlude(I beleeve that's the name) in My MC7205. I went with the PS Audio because of the removable ground pin. For some reason I get a ground hum on the 7205 and that cured it. As far as you other question on IC Cables I am using Cardas Golden Reference RCA's I tried the XLR but could not hear difference in 1 meter lengths
