Power cord for my Portal Panache?

What do you guys think about the MIT z-cord II? I was offered a 6 foot version from my local store for 60 dollars out the door. Do you think this would be a good upgrade from the stock cheap black cord it came with? Would the ps audio power punch that retails for 70 be a better cord? Thanks!

P.S. i could also use the MIT for my cd player...

I would be more inclined to go with the PS Audio power cord since they specialize in power conditioners & power cords etc. and have a very good reputation in this area. I know that they made a dramatic improvement in my system. Anyway I second Viridian's request. How do you like your Portal Panache as I have a great interest in this integrated amp myself but never heard one. Inquiring minds want to know!

Ryan,
I put that exact MIT cord on my cd player and it sounds great! A really good deal for 60 bucks, try it both ways and see which you prefer. Happy listening!

Ryan,

I have owned the MIT Power Cords and just found them in a simple word, well just terrible. In that price range the PS Audio Cords will be the better bet. Good luck!

The Panache is a great sounding amp! I really am just amazed at the difference between my older NAD. I have listened to Jolida, Classe, Primare, NAD, and Audio Research. The Panache was way better then Primare, Jolida and NAD. The best I can describe it's sound is to think of a beast that is warm and gentle. hah.

Beware though that the Panache is super sensitive to the power in your house. I have never been able to track down what is causing a very slight buzz from the speakers. The amp did not buzz at TIBI manufacturing (who makes these amps)when I took it to be looked at. But I dont notice it anymore.
