Power Cord for Digital


Recently purchased a Marantz SA 14v2 SACD player and looking for recommendations for a power cord in the $ 200-400 range used. Is there anything different about the digital power cord some companies offer such as JPS Labs and others? Thank you.

Make sure it has at least 12 AWG conductors and has a "floating" shield (that's a braided and/or foil shield that's connected only at the AC plug end.)

That may sound like overkill, but for some reason CDPs and CDTs and (especially) DACs seem to like 12 gauge power cords and the floating shield will keep digital RFI from being broadcast from the power cord.

Also try and plug your digital stuff into a different circuit from the other sources.
I have the original SA-14 and find that changing power cords makes little or no difference. If you find one that makes a sizable difference, please let us know.

Robert,
If you went with a VH audio Flavor 3, It would be hard pressed to beat at 2-3 times its price/performance ratio. Specially made for digital components,12ga and a great value.
